100
These make up the "steps" of the ladder.
What are bases?
100
The process of a cell making an exact copy of itself.
What is Mitosis?
100
A small segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein.
What is a Gene?
100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100
Complementary base pair for Adenine.
What is Thymine?
200
The sugars and the phosphates make up this part of the DNA.
What is the "sugar phosphate backbone"?
200
The phase where chromosomes are lined up in the centre.
What is Metaphase?
200
The "command centre" of the cell where DNA is located.
What is the nucleus?
200
This stage is where Centrioles are first situated at the poles.
What is Prophase?
200
Complementary base pair for Cytosine.
What is an Guanine?
300
The proteins which the DNA double helix winds around so that DNA can become "supercoiled".
What are Histones?
300
The phase when 2 nuclear envelopes have surrounded chromosomes at each pole.
What is Telophase?
300
The number of chromosome pairs humans have.
What are 23?
300
The phase where sister chromatids begin to separate and move towards the separate poles.
What is Anaphase?
300
The term used to describe DNA changing through mutation and recombination.
What is "evolve"?
400
Chromatin coils up into this X-shaped structure.
What is a Chromosome?
400
The process where the cell pinches in the cytoplasm is split up.
What is Cytokinesis?
400
This term is used to describe traits passed down from parent to offspring.
What is Hereditary Traits?
400
This is the longest phase of Mitosis.
What is Interphase?
400
The chromatin must do this in order for DNA to be able to be read and control the rest of the cell.
What is "unwind"?
500
The "twisted ladder" shape of DNA
What is a double helix?
500
The phase where all the DNA is being replicated.
What is Interphase?
500
This gives instructions to the cell for a specific task.
What is genetic CODE?
500
The number of cells that result from one round of Mitosis.
What are 2 cells?
500
DNA is an abbreviation for this term.
