Transcription & Translation
What type of nucleic acid leaves the nucleus
What is RNA?
The monomer of all nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
There are this many rounds of stages in Meiosis
What is two?
Most of the stages of the cell cycle are grouped into this phase
What is interphase?
What is cytokinesis
Takes the instruction for protein synthesis to a ribosome
What is mRNA?
A=T, C=G is the short version of this.
What is Chargaff's rule of base pairing?
A body cell has a full set of chromosomes which makes it diploid. A germ cell has this many chromosomes and is this.
What is half and haploid?
The first phase of growth including some cell structure replication.
What is G1 phase?
The phase where all the chromatids are aligned along the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
While it shaped like the letter it is named, this type of RNA was named for the job it does, moving amino acids into place for protein synthesis
What is tRNA?
The protein which reads the old DNA strand and adds the correct nucleotide based on Chargaff's rule is this.
What is DNA polymerase?
In this stage, crossing over can occur on sister chromatids.
What is Prophase I?
This phase is the final growth phase before mitosis and cytokinesis
What is the G2 phase?
In this phase, the chromosomes are pulled to the opposite ends of the cell and the nuclear envelope reforms
What is telophase?
What is a codon?
An experiment was done using radioactive phosphorus on DNA when it was copied. Over time, the radioactivity of the DNA cut in half each step. This shows DNA is replicated in this manner.
What is semiconservative replication?
At Telophase I, the cells chromosomes are this.
What is diploid?
This is the phase where DNA is copied.
What is the S phase?
What is anaphase?
What is folding?
This protein opens the DNA for replication.
What is helocase?
The formal and common name for the result when two germ cells merge their DNA.
What is a "zygote" and "fertilized egg"?
These occur between G1 and S phase, G2 and M phase (Mitosis), and during metaphase to ensure the cell is ready to move on to the next stage.
What are checkpoints?
Mitosis is the division of this structure
What is the nucleus?
