RNA
the sugar in RNA which is different from the sugar in DNA
ribose
The number of daughter cells after meiosis is complete
4
the structure which holds sister chromatids together and acts as an attachment point for the spindles
centromere
the cells in which mitosis occurs
somatic cells; cells of the body besides sperm and eggs
The part of the cell cycle where the cell carries out its normal functions
Interphase
the function of rRNA
makes up ribosomes
the word which describes a cell with half the number of chromosomes
haploid
The number of chromosomes in human diploid cells
46
the term which describes duplicated chromosomes
sister chromatids
The two things added to protect the mRNA during mRNA Processing
poly A tail and 5' cap
RNA which brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation
tRNA (or transfer RNA)
the phase where the sister chromatids line up along equator of the cell
metaphase II
Two main differences between meiosis and mitosis
2 rounds vs 1; only 23 chromosomes vs 46 in each daughter cell; 4 daughter cells vs 2 daughter cells
the phase in which the chromatin condenses, the nuclear envelope begins to break down and spindles form
prophase
The location of translation
ribosome
the function of mRNA
to bring genetic message from nucleus to ribosome
the phase where the homologous chromosomes are pulled apart
anaphase I
the division of the daughter cells after the nuclei have formed
cytokinesis
Mitosis is method of reproduction in single celled organisms; this is ____________ reproduction
asexual
The location of transcription
the nucleus
Two differences between RNA and DNA, besides the sugar
uracil; single stranded
the general term for both sperm and eggs
gametes
the structures which act as an anchor for the spindles
centrioles
the phase where the sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
anaphase
Reproduction requiring chromosomes from two individual organisms, resulting in unique offspring
sexual reproduction
