100
A section of DNA coding for a particular protein
What is a gene?
100
The process by which DNA makes a copy of itself by unzipping and using each strand as a template for a new strand.
What is Replication?
100
Has a higher solute concentration than the other side of the cell membrane.
What is HYPERTONIC?
100
The protein "factory"
What is a ribosome?
100
The chromosome number of a daughter cell that is the product of a mitotic (mitosis) division of a cell with 2n=12.
What is 12?
200
Hydrogen bonds
What connects the nucleotide bases within a double helix?
200
The single stranded copy of DNA that contains U instead of T.
What is RNA?
200
ATP is produced from glucose in this "powerhouse".
What is the Mitochondrion?
200
cystine, methionine, lysine, phenylalanine
What are AMINO ACIDS?
200
Holds the sister chromatids together and attaches to the spindle fibers.

What always pairs with Guanine (G)? What always pairs with Adenine (A)?
300
DNA Polymerase
What is the enzyme that joins individual DNA nucleotides to make a new strand of DNA (which is a polymer)?
300
The "magic number" that causes cells to divide.
What is Surface Area to Volume Ratio?
300
Delivers specific amino acids to the ribosome for protein construction.
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
300
Cell increases in size, replicates its chromosomes and prepares for cell division.
What is Interphase?
400
Codon
What is the 3 base sequence on DNA that codes for one amino acid?
400
CUAAUGU is the RNA complement of this sequence of DNA.
What is GATTACA?
400
This structure causes the dividing cell to pinch off it's cytoplasm into 2 cells.
What is cleavage furrow (in animals)? What is cell plate (in plants)?
400
An error in the DNA or RNA sequence
What is a mutation?
400
Homologous chromosomes form a tetrad and exchange genetic material.
What is crossing-over?
500
the material made of DNA and histone proteins, which makes up chromosomes when tightly wound together.
What is Chromatin? (or what is a nucleosome?)
500
It leaves the nucleus carrying the genetic information to the cytoplasm.
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
500
The diffusion of water from an area of high concentration to lower concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane.
What is OSMOSIS?
500
AUG is the codon for this tRNA anti-codon
