DNA
The long word for DNA
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The cell division that occurs in our somatic cells, making two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This kind of reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent cell.
What is asexual reproduction?
The product of transcription. (Include the type!!)
What is messenger RNA?
The subunits of proteins that are attached to anticodons.
What are amino acids?
This nitrogenous base bonds with thymine.
What is adenine?
This phase of cell division involves the sister chromatids being pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
Sperm and eggs are examples of these.
What is a gamete?
This type of nucleic acid has ribose, not deoxyribose, and Thymine is replaced by Uracil.
What is RNA?
The organelle responsible for making protein out of mRNA.
What are ribosomes?
A set of chromosomes in a row for scientists to analyse.
What is a karyotype?
At this phase, you start to be able to see chromosomes under a microscope.
What is prophase?
The biological term explaining how human cells have 46 chromosomes.
Where does transcription happen?
The triplet code that ends protein production.
What is the STOP codon?
The protein whose job it is to replicate DNA.
What is DNA polymerase?
The stage of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated.
What is interphase?
Two gametes coming together making a zygote.
What is fertilisation?
The strand of DNA that is used to make the copy for transcription.
What is the template strand?
The sequence that binds to UUGC
AACG
The end parts of DNA that get shorter over your lifetime.
This part of the cell cycle happens straight after mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?
This part of RNA is thrown out and not translated during processing of the transcript.
What are introns?
The ribosome reads these to decide which amino acid to add to the chain.
What are codons?
