What is the macromolecule of DNA?
What is a Nucleotide
100
Definition of transcription
The process of mRNA from DNA
100
Definition of mitosis
What is the process of the cell cycle that ensures that each new daughter cell produced has the same number and kinds of genes as the original parent cell.
100
Definition of meiosis
The process that reduces by half the amount of DNA present in each sperm or egg cell
100
What step of mitosis is this?
What is Metaphase
200
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is a double helix (twisted ladder)?
200
Definition of translation
The process of converting mRNA into amino acids (proteins)
200
The part of the cell cycle in which cells grow and carry out normal cell functions.
What is interphase?
200
Definition of gametes
A sperm cell or an egg cell
200
Where is RNA located?
What is inside and outside of the nucleus (in the cytoplasm).
300
The four bases that make up the "rungs" of the DNA molecule.
What are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
300
The slightly different copy of DNA used in transcription.
What is RNA (or mRNA)?
300
The part of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
300
The difference between haploid and diploid cells
Diploid cells have two complete sets of genes (2n)
Haploid cells have just one complete set of genes (n)
300
What are the four nitrogen bases for RNA?
What is Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, Guanine

Make a protein from the following DNA sequence
TAC CGT ACA
Transcription: AUG GCA UGA
Translation: Start(MET) ALA STOP
400
The part of the cell cycle in which new chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell and new nuclear membranes form around each group of chromosomes.

500
The part of the cell cycle in which a parent cell pinches in between two new nuclei until cytoplasm is divided and two new cells are formed.
What is cytokinesis?
500
The joining of gametes and the result of that process.
What is fertilization and a zygote?
