Meiosis
Meiosis results in the formation of these cells.
What are gametes?
Mitosis results in the formation of these cells.
What is a somatic (body) cell?
This structure is the powerhouse of the cell (creates energy).
What is the mitochondria?
This is composed of 3 "letters," each of which designate a specific nitrogenous base.
What is a codon?
There are two main categories of mutations.
What are frameshift and point mutations?
PMAT occurs this many times during meiosis.
What is two?
This structure is responsible for moving chromosomes during mitosis.
What are spindle fibers?
These are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What are ribosomes?
This is used to "read" codons.
What is an amino acid chart?
A nitrogenous base is swapped.
What is a substitution?
Sister chromatids are separated.
What is anaphase II?
What is large?
What is a vacuole?
This carries genetic information out of the nucleus.
What is mRNA?
A nitrogenous base is removed.
What is a deletion?
What is S phase?
After DNA replication, each chromosome consists of two of these.
What are chromatids?
This organelle acts as a garbage disposal for the cell.
What is a lysosome?
What are proteins?
A nitrogenous base is added.
What is an insertion?
DNA begins to condense during this phase.
What is prophase I?
This step occurs after mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
This structure packages and ships proteins.
What is the golgi apparatus?
What are anti-codons?
CTT -> GCA
