DNA Basics
This is the shape of DNA
What is a Twisted Ladder (double helix)?
This is produced during transcriptions
What is RNA?
The chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
What is Metaphase?
This process results in repair, growth, or asexual reproduction.
What is Mitosis?
The number of chromosomes in a diploid human cell.
What is 46 chromosomes?
Adenine pairs with this.
What is Thymine?
In RNA, Thymine is replaced with this.
What is U (Uracil)?
Sister chromatids divide into separate chromosomes
What is Anaphase?
The number of cells you end up with at the end of mitosis
What are 2 cells?
Reproduction that uses egg and sperm.
What is Sexual Reproduction?
Cytosine pairs with this.
What is Guanine?
The organelle RNA is sent to in order to build proteins
In this stage, the cytoplasm is divided and two new cells are formed
What is Cytokinesis?
The phases of mitosis in the correct order they occur.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase?
These types of cells have one pair of genes (half)
What is Haploid?
A section of a DNA molecule that codes for a unique protein
What is a Gene?
Place in the cell where transcription takes place.
This happens during Interphase to prepare the cell for division.
What is DNA Replication?
These types of cells have two pairs of genes (a full set)
Diploid
This type of reproduction results in an exact copy of the parent cells, with very little genetic variation?
What is asexual reproduction?
These are the three parts of a nucleotide
What are Sugar, Phosphate, Base?
A protein is built from a strand of these.
What are Amino Acids?
New chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell and uncoil
What is telophase?
The difference between the parent and daughter cells in mitosis vs meiosis are these.
Mitosis: parent and daughter cells are genetically identical
Meiosis: parent and daughter cells are genetically unique
If the body cell of a mouse has 44 chromosomes and goes through mitosis & cytokinesis, the two new cells have this many chromosomes.
