DNA
This is the monomer of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
This is the longest stage of the cell cycle, where the cell spends about 80% of its life.
What is interphase?
This is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This is the name for a section of DNA that codes for a protein.
What is a gene?
This is the type of bond that holds the two strands of DNA together.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is the name for the shape of DNA
What is a double helix?
DNA Replication happens during this stage of the cell cycle.
What is S Phase?
This is the most organized and condensed form of DNA.
What is a chromosome?
Transcription happens in this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
This is the stage of mitosis where two nuclei are formed.
What is telophase?
This is the name of the enzyme that unzips the two strands of DNA during DNA Replication.
What is helicase?
This is the stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides.
What is cytokinesis?
During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart, becoming these.
What are daughter chromosomes?
Tranlation happens in this cell organelle.
What is the ribosome?
This is the name of the enzyme that synthesizes new matching strands of DNA during DNA Replication.
What is DNA Polymerase?
If an molecule of DNA has 20% Adenine, this is the percent of Guanine in the same molecule.
What is 30%?
This is the stage of interphase where all the organelles are doubled.
What is G2?
By the end of telophase, the DNA in each nucleus has relaxed back into this form.
What is chromatin?
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
This is the stage of the cell cycle where the nuclear membrane begins to break down.
What is prophase?
These are the three parts of a nucleotide.
What is a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
These are two reasons why a cell would divide.
What are 1) growth & development, 2) repair of injured cells, and 3) reproduction?
These are the four stages of mitosis, in order. (full names!)
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
This enzyme synthesizes RNA from a gene in DNA.
What is RNA Polymerase?
These are the three differences between DNA and RNA?
What are:
1) RNA is single stranded and DNA is double stranded.
2) RNA has ribose sugar and DNA has deoxyribose sugar
3) DNA has the base thymine and RNA has the base uracil.
