_________ is the SHAPE of DNA...

What is a Double Helix?

100

This type of RNA is transcribed by RNA Polymerase, during the first of two processes in Protein Synthesis.

What is Messenger RNA (mRNA)?

100

The organelle where the second stage of protein synthesis occurs.

What is a ribosome?

100

The cells that undergo mitosis in eukaryotic cells

What are somatic cells?

100

The types of cells made during meiosis.

What are gametes?

200
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
200

The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: 

A T T C G C A G T

What is U A A G C G U C A

200
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
200

A cell with a complete set of homologous chromosome pairs.

What is a diploid cell?

200

The term used to describe a pair of chromosomes that have the same size, shape, and genetic information.

What are homologous chromosomes?

300
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
300

The nucleotide that is not present in DNA, but present in RNA.

What is uracil?

300
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
300

The final phase in both meiosis and mitosis

What is cytokinesis?

300

A cell with a half-set of homologous chromosome pairs.

What is a haploid cell

400

The nucleotide base that is seen in DNA but not RNA

What is thymine?
400

The type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. 

What is Transfer RNA (tRNA)?

400

The molecular machine observed in all cells which are responsible for synthesizing proteins

What is a ribosome?

400

What phase of mitosis is shown in the photo below.

What is (late) anaphase?

400

The meiosis phase seen in the photo below

What is metaphase II?

500

The process that must occur to DNA just prior to Meiosis I

What is copying DNA?

500

A specific code sequence that lets the RNA Polymerase enzyme know to stop reading and copying DNA code.

What is a Stop Code.

500

A polymer of amino acids joined together by small bonds. These combine to form proteins.

What is a polypeptide chain?

500

The process that helps promote genetic diversity by having sister chromatids exchange genetic information during prophase I.

What is crossing-over?

500

During this stage of Meiosis, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up in the center of the cell where Independent Assortment can then occur. 

What is Metaphase I?
