DNA/RNA
RNA is the abbreviation for this and DNA is the abreviation for this
What is ribonucleic acid
What is deoxyribonucleic acid
Protein synthesis is occuring in a ribosome. Is this a part of transcription or translation?
What is translation
The diploid number of a cell is 16. What is the haploid number?
The haploid number is 8
What is the purpose of lytic pathway?
The lytic pathway is the way in which viruses reproduce, killing the cells of its host.
How many useful gametes are produced in the meiosis of male animals? What about female animals?
Male animals produce four useful gametes with each meiosis, while female animals produce only one.
Define Messenger RNA
The RNA that performs transcription
list (in order) the stages of mitosis
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
The haploid number of a cell is 9. What's its diploid number?
The diploid number is 18.
If a virus uses DNA as its genetic material, is it alive?
Why or why not?
No virus is alive, because no virus can reproduce on its own
Which is closer to mitosis: Meiosis 1 or meiosis 2?
Meiosis 2, It is essentially mitosis acting on two haploid cells.
a DNA strand has the following sequence of nucleotides: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. How many amino acids will the mRNA code for?
What are two amino acids
If you look under a microscope and see distinct chromosomes in a cell, is the cell in interphase? why or why not?
Its not interphase. Chromosomes only pack into their condensed form during reproduction.
What's the difference between a gamete and a regular animal cell?
A gamete is haploid while a regular animal cell is diploid.
A person decides to wait until he contracts measles to get the vaccine. What's wrong with his strategy?
A vaccine is only good if you take it before getting infected,because it is meant to build up the antibodies that you need to fight the virus off before it overwhelms your body
Four cells that originally (prior to meiosis 1) had seven pairs of homologous chromosomes go through meiosis 2. How many cells result? How many (total) chromosomes exist in each cell? Are the chromosomes in each cell duplicated or not?
There are 8 cells produced, there are 7 chromosomes in each , but the chromosomes are not duplicated.
An RNA strand has an anticodon. Is it tRNA or mRNA?
What is tRNA. Only tRNA has anticodons
Define genetics and genetic factors
Genetics
The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring
Genetic Factors
The general guideline of traits determined by a person's DNA
List (in order) all of the stages of meiosis
Prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2 ,metaphase 2, anaphase 2, telophase 2.
Define environmental and spiritual factors
Environmental factors Those "nonbiological" factors that are involved in a person's surroundings such as the nature of the person's parents, the person's friends, and the person's behavioral choices
Spiritual Factors The factors in a person's life that are determined by the quality of his/her relationship with God
What are the gametes produced in male animals called? What are the gametes in female animals called?
Male gametes are called sperm, while female gametes are called eggs
a DNA strand has the following sequence of nucleotides: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine
What will the mRNA sequence be?
cytosine, guanine, uracil, uracil, adenine, cytosine
Define gene
Gene
A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of protein, thereby causing a trait
A single cell with seven pairs of homologous chromosomes goes through meiosis 1. How many cells result at the end of meiosis 1? How many chromosomes exist in each cell? Are the chromosomes in each cell duplicated or not?
2 cells, each cell has 7 chromosomes, the chromosomes are duplicated.
Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents
antibodies
Which gamete can move on its own: The male or female gamete?
The male gamete
