Cell Cycle
The 4 phases of the cell cycle.
What is G1, S, G2, M?
This is the shape of DNA molecules.
What is a double-helix?
This is the number of types of RNA.
What is 3?
This is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells.
What is Mitosis?
Frameshift mutations change the codons of mRNA, leading to tRNA bringing different _______.
What are amino acids?
The parts of the cell cycle that are considered interphase.
What is Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2?
These are the four bases in DNA and how they are paired.
What are A/T and G/C?
These are the four bases in RNA and how they are paired.
What are A/U and G/C?
This is the phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
The word for a set of three nucleotides that code for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
The cell grows during this "over-arching" phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
Inversion happens to this type of condensed DNA.
What is a chromosome?
The type of RNA that carries information out of the nucleus.
What is mRNA/messenger RNA?
The biggest difference between plant cells and animal cells during mitosis is the formation of this.
What is a cell wall?
The type of mutation that happens to only one or a few nucleotides.
What is a point mutation/substitution mutation?
When cells do this, the cell cycle can be halted.
What is make contact OR make p53.
The two halves of a chromosome are held together by this.
What is a centromere?
This is the end goal for transcription and translation.
What is building a protein?
The amount of chromosomes in each daughter cell when the original cell has 22 chromosomes.
What is 22 chromosomes?
The term for converting RNA bases into proteins.
What is translation?
This is the phase that determines whether mitosis will happen or not (hint: the "error-checking" step)
What is Gap 2?
The type of sugar in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
The type of sugar in RNA molecules.
What is ribose?
The order of the phases of mitosis in order.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
The term for how DNA bases are matched with RNA bases to make mRNA.
What is transcription?
