Like DNA, RNA is made up of four kinds of these. 

What are nucleotide bases?

100

During translation, tRNA bring these along for the ride.

What are amino acids? 
100

While mitosis results in two identical cells, this process makes four, and boy are they different! 

What is meiosis? 

100

This non-cellular infectious agent cannot reproduce on its own. 

What is a virus? 

100

A complex network of DNA coils and proteins, including histones and nucleosomes, make up this structure used to tightly package DNA within a cell. 

What is a chromosome? 

200

RNA's nucleotide bases are almost identical to those of DNA, EXCEPT for this one. 

What is uracil? 

200

This is the end product of the process of translation. 

What is a protein? 

200

During metaphase, prior to the big break up, you could arrange chromosomes according to their homologous pairs in this representative figure. 

What is a karyotype? 

200

These specialized proteins aid in destroying infectious agents.

What are antibodies? 

200

A duplicated chromosome contains two sister chromatids joined at this structure. 

What is the centromere?

300

During this process, RNA makes a "negative" of the DNA by matching up complimentary nucleotide bases. 

What is transcription? 

300

This cell is ready for reproduction and contains duplicated DNA and centrioles.

What is a mother cell? 

300

A cell's DNA consists of 18 pairs of homologous chromosomes. Its diploid and haploid numbers are these, respectively. 

What are 36 and 18? 

300

Viruses infect their hosts via this process in which a cell's biosynthetic machinery is directed to manufacture new viruses. 

What is the lytic pathway? 

300

During this part of the cell cycle, chromosomes are not condensed or as tightly packed as they could be. The cell is busy doing normal life functions. 

What is interphase? 

400

A DNA strand has the following sequence of nucleotides: 

cytosine, adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine

This would be the corresponding RNA sequence during transcription. 

What is guanine, uracil, adenine, guanine, cytosine?

400

Eukaryotic cells undergo this process to reproduce asexually. 

What is mitosis? 

400

The photo shows the final stage of this process (be specific).  

What is Meiosis II? 

400

These specialized cells in the immune system destroy pathogens, including viruses, by engulfing them (for example, some white blood cells). 

What are phagocytic cells? 

400

DAILY DOUBLE

What are 46 chromosomes and a zygote? 

500

This three-nucleotide base sequence on tRNA matches up with corresponding sequences on mRNA during translation. 

What is the anticodon? 

500

The photo shows this stage of mitosis. 

What is metaphase? 

500

Four cells each have a diploid number of 32 and undergo meiosis. The result will be this many cells and this many total chromosomes in each cell. 

What are 16 cells and 16 chromosomes each? 

500

While not alive, viruses contain these two materials in common with living cells, including human cells. 

What are DNA and RNA? 

500

In humans, if a cell does not have similar chromosomes in the 23rd chromosome pair, the cell must be from this gender. 

What is male?
