Protein synthesis
100
The genetic material that is divided during cell reproduction
What is DNA ?
100
The first phase of mitosis during which chromatin condenses into chromosomes
What is prophase ?
100

This process is used for growth and repair in multicellular organisms like humans.

What is mitosis ?

100

This is a diagram that shows which family members have a trait.

What is a pedigree?

100

This is the organelle that makes proteins through the process of translation

What is a ribosome?

200

This is what a double helix of DNA is called when it is condensed down from a long thread into an object. Useful during mitosis.

What is a chromosome ?

200
The period during interphase when DNA is copied or synthesized
What is S phase ?
200

This is the process of bacterial cell division

What is binary fission?

200

This diagram can help calculate the odds of an offspring's phenotype by finding all possible gentotypes.

What is a Punnett square?

200

This is the process of copying the genetic code from DNA to mRNA.

What is transcription?

300

This enzyme unzips DNA during DNA replication.

What is helicase

300

The first stage of interphase during which the cell grows

What is the G1 or Growth 1 phase ?

300

These are new cells formed from cell division

What are daughter cells ?

300

This is the term for all the alleles that an individual has.

What is a genotype?

300

This molecule carries the information from a gene to a ribosome

What is mRNA?

400

This is the monomer that makes up DNA and RNA

What is a nucleotide?

400
A disorder that results from uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer ?
400
The division of the cytoplasm into two new cells
What is cytokinesis ?
400

This is a term that means 'one version of a gene'

What is an allele

400

This is the process of changing the genetic code on mRNA into a polypeptide sequence.

What is translation?

500
One of two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome
What is a sister chromatid ?
500
The period of cell growth and development between cell divisions
What is interphase ?
500
A cell containing two sets of each chromosome
What is diploid ?
500

This is the likelihood that two heterozygous parents will have an offspring that is also heterozygous.

50%

500

This is a three letter long segment on mRNA that specifies an amino acid.

What is a codon?

600

This enzyme writes new strands of DNA during DNA replication.

What is DNA polymerase?

600
The fourth phase of mitosis during which the nuclear membrane reforms around each new set of chromosomes
What is telophase ?
600

This is the name of the cells produced by meiosis.

What are gametes?

600

This is an allele that is expressed even if there is only one copy.

What is a dominant allele

600

This molecule carries an amino acid to the ribosomes and has an anticodon.

What is tRNA

700

This is a short stretch of new DNA on the lagging strand. It results from DNA only being written in the 5'->3' direction.

What is an Okazaki fragment

700
The second phase of mitosis during which chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
What is metaphase ?
700

This is a new segment of cell wall between plant cells that have undergone mitosis

What is a cell plate?

700

This is an inheritance pattern where neither allele is entirely dominant. Example would be if a red homozygous flower crossed with a white homozygous flower and had pink flowered offspring.

What is incomplete dominance?

700

This is a sequence on mRNA that will end the process of translation.

What is a stop codon?
