Stages of Cell Cycle
Cell cytoplasm divides
What is cytokinesis?
The "backbone" of DNA
What is sugar (deoxiribose), phosphate?
Chromosomes are unwinding and become enclosed in the nucleus, and the cell begins to divide
What is telophase?
Shape of DNA.
What is double helix?
Longest phase in the cell cycle.
What is Interphase?
DNA replicates
What is the S phase?
Base pairing rule
What is A-->T, and C-->G?
Chromosomes are lined up on the cell's equator
What is metaphase?
Enzyme that joins DNA strands
What is DNA polymerase?
Program cell death
What is apoptosis?
The cell grows and carries out normal activities after division has occurred
What is the G1 phase?
Adenine, cytosine, thymine, guanine
What is nitrogenous base?
The cell's chromosomes become visible, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell
What is prophase?
DNA stands for...
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
What holds genetic material?
What is DNA?
The stage that includes G1, S, and G2
What is interphase?
A nucleotide consists of?
What is a five carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base?
Chromatids are pulled apart and become individual chromosomes
What is anaphase?
Enzyme that unwinds the double helix of DNA
What is DNA helicase?
Eukaryotes use these two steps to divide
What are mitosis and cytokinesis?
Cell preparation for division occurs
What is the G2 phase?
Of the three components of a nucleotide which acts as the genetic code?
What is base?
Spindle fibers appear and attach to centromeres
What is prophase?
Weak chemical bond that holds base pairs together.
What is hydrogen bond?
Uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer?
