100
The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring.
What is Genetics?
100
DNA coiled around and supported by proteins, found in the nucleus of the cell.
What is a Chromosome?
100
The region that joins two sister chromatids.
What is the Centromere?
100
A cell with chromosomes that come in homologous pairs.
What is a Diploid cell?
100
A cell that has only one representative of each chromosome pair.
What is a Haploid cell?
200
A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of protein, thereby causing a trait.
What is a Gene?
200
A process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells.
What is Mitosis?
200
The brief time in which the chromosomes are lined up along the equatorial plane.
What is Metaphase?
200
The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell.
What is Diploid number?
200
The total number of homologous pairs in a diploid cell.
What is Haploid number?
300
The RNA that performs transcription.
What is Messenger RNA?
300
The time interval between cellular reproduction.
What is Interphase?
300
The last phase of mitosis.
What is Telophase?
300
The process by which a diploid cell forms gametes.
What is Meiosis?
300
Haploid cells produced by diploid cells for the purpose of sexual reproduction.
What are Gametes?
400
A three-nucleotide base sequence on tRNA.
What is an Anticodon?
400
A cell ready to begin reproduction, containing duplicated DNA and centrioles.
What is a Mother cell?
400
The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to their homologous pairs.
What is Karyotype?
400
A non-cellular infectious agent that has genetic material but cannot reproduce on its own.
What is a Virus?
400
A weakened or inactive version of a pathogen that stimulates the body's production of antibodies which can aid in destroying the pathogen.
What is a Vaccine?
500
A sequence of three nucleotide bases on mRNA that refers to a specific amino acid.
What is a Codon?
500
Proteins that act as spools which wind up small stretches of DNA.
What are Histones?
500
The third (and second to last) phase of mitosis.
What is Anaphase?
500
A diploid cell that forms when gametes join together.
What is a Zygote?
500
Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents.
What are Antibodies?
