Meiosis
How many cells does meiosis make?
4
How many sides does DNA have?
2
What are the "letters" of DNA?
ATCG (the nucleotides)
Which has more steps, mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis (8)
How many steps does meiosis have?
8
Which nucleotides pair up?
A-T, C-G
How many bases are in a codon?
3 (ex. TAG)
Which makes identical cells?
Mitosis
Are the cells made the same, or different?
Different
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine
What do codons code for?
Amino Acids
Which makes different cells?
Meiosis
23 (one copy each)
We say that the two sides of DNA are:
Hint: facing opposite directions
Antiparallel (next to each other, but opposite directions)
A string of amino acids
Which makes body cells?
Mitosis
What are the steps of meiosis?
Prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, telophase 2
What are the parts of a nucleotide?
Phosphate, sugar, base
How do we use DNA?
Our cells "read" it. The DNA gives directions for building proteins.
Which has more chromosomes, cells from meiosis or mitosis?
Mitosis (46/2 copies. Meiosis = 23/1 copy)
