Cells and Organelles
The organelle that holds the DNA and helps distinguish between eukaryotes and prokaryotes
What is the nucleus?
The mitosis-related phase during which DNA duplication occurs
What is interphase?
The letters corresponding to the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA
What are A, T, G, and C?
The nitrogenous base that distinguishes RNA from DNA
What is U (uracil)?
The process by which proteins are made
What is translation?
The level of cellular organization depicted in this picture (Picture 1)
What is tissue?
The process that allows babies to grow during pregnancy
What is mitosis?
The physical structure of DNA which is made up of two linked strands that wind around to resemble a twisted ladder
What is a double helix?
The process by which DNA becomes RNA
What is transcription?
The number of RNA nucleotides that code for one amino acid
What is 3?
The level of cellular organization that comes between organelle and tissue
What is a cell?
The mitotic phase shown here (Picture 2)
What is telophase?
The process by which a cell creates two complete sets of DNA from one strand
What is DNA replication?
The RNA strand produced from DNA strand: ATTGCA
What is UAACGU?
The central dogma of molecular biology
What is DNA to RNA to protein?
This is the gel-like organelle of the cell that holds all of the other organelles
What is the cytoplasm/cytosol?
When DNA duplicates, each duplicated DNA is now called this: sister ______________
What is chromatid?
The building blocks that make up DNA and RNA
What are nucleotides?
The cellular organelles that RNA is most likely to interact with
What is the nucleus and ribosome (also cytoplasm)?
The building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
This type of cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, AND mitochondria
What is a plant cell?
These are the protein structures responsible for pulling apart sister chromatids during mitosis and homologous chromosomes during meiosis
What are spindle fibers?
Gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments based on _________________
What is size?
The enzyme responsible for producing RNA
What is RNA polymerase?
The type of RNA that is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
