The organelle where transcription takes place
What is the nucleus?
What is a gene?
These are the 4 bases used in DNA replication
What are A, G, C, and T?
What is a tumor?
Term for the pair of chromosomes that look alike and carry the same sequences of genes for the same traits
What is homologous?
All of a cell's genetic material
What is genome?
Term for the three bases that code for an amino acid
What is codon?
This enzyme adds nucleotides to the growing complementary strand during DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
This type of reproduction results in an exact copy of the parent cells, with very little genetic variation
What is asexual reproduction?
Of Meiosis I or Meiosis II, this one looks the same as mitosis
What is Meiosis II?
The organelle where translation takes place
What is the ribosome?
These are the 4 nucleotide bases used when transcribing DNA to mRNA
What are A, C, G, U?
This enzyme helps unzip the DNA so it can be replicated
This is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle (or meet in the middle) of the cell
What is metaphase?
Cells with one set of chromosomes, such as an egg or a sperm cell, are called this
One half of a duplicated chromosome - you can have sister and non-sister ones in mitosis and meiosis
What is chromatid?
This type of RNA brings amino acids to build a protein
What is tRNA?
Cells undergo this type of cell division after fertilization
What is mitosis?
The three parts of the cell cycle
What are interphase, cell division (or mitosis), and cytokinesis?
Term for when nonsister chromatids exchange DNA fragments
What is crossing over?
Cells with two sets of chromosomes are called this. A skin cell is an example of these cell types.
What is diploid?
This is the central dogma of molecular biology
What is DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated into a protein? (DNA -> RNA -> protein)
What is TCC ATG GTA AAT?
The number of cells you end up with at the end of mitosis
The number of cells you end up with at the end of meiosis
What is 4 haploid cells that are genetically different
