What are Amino Acids?
100
G1, S, and G2 phases when the cell is undergoing growth and DNA replication. Where the cell spends most of its' time.
What is interphase?
100
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
What is mitosis?
100
Used to show disease heredity
What is a pedigree?
200
The nitrogenous base that pairs with Thymine in DNA
What is Adenine?
200
The process of making a single-stranded copy of the DNA sequence and the first step to making a protein
What is transcription? making messenger RNA (mRNA)
200
Uncontrolled cell growth leading to disease and sometimes death
What is cancer
200
Phase of mitosis in which chromosomes uncoil, nuclear envelope re-forms, spindle fibers disappear
What is telophase?
200
A phenotype only expressed when two copies of the gene are present
What is a recessive trait?
300
The function of DNA
What is the instructions for making of proteins, leading to all characteristics of an organism?
300
Matches the mRNA sequence with the correct amino acid; builds the protein
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
300
The stage in the cell cycle when DNA replicated.
What is Synthesis or S phase
300
4 types of cells that continue to divide by mitosis into adulthood

400
Proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions
What are enzymes?
400
The part of the DNA double-helix called pictured here in blue
What is the sugar-phosphate backbone?
400
Chromosome copies split apart and move toward opposite sides of the cell (pulled by spindle fibers)
What is Anaphase?
400
When both alleles of a gene contribute to the phenotype of the organism

500
A trait controlled by two or more genes
