Sexual Reproduction
DNA
RNA
100
The longest stage of the cell cycle. A period of growth and development.
What is Interphase
100
When a new organism grows from the body of the parent.
What is budding
100
In this process, an egg and a sperm join together
What is fertilization
100
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
100
In RNA, adenine always binds with _____________
uracil
200
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
What is anaphase
200
when a new organism grows from just a part of the parent.
What is regeneration
200
This specialized cell has a whip-like tail and a head that is almost all nucleus
What is a sperm
200
A segment of DNA controlling the production of one protein
What is a gene
200
The type of RNA that carries the code for making proteins from the nucleus to the ribosomes.
What is mRNA
300
During this phase of mitosis, the chromosome pairs line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase
300
In asexual reproduction the DNA of the offspring is ______________
Identical to the parent's DNA
300
After completing this process, one diploid cell becomes four haploid cells.
What is meiosis
300
In DNA, adenine binds with _____________
Thymine
300
When these units are linked together in a specific order, a specific protein is formed.
What are amino acids
400
During this phase of mitosis, the DNA condenses into chromosomes.
What is prophase
400
The process by which bacteria reproduce.
What is fission
400
In meiosis, how many times does the nucleus divide?
twice (2 times)
400
The shape of the DNA molecule
What is a double helix
400
This type of nucleic acid is always single stranded (one handrail)
What is RNA
500
After mitosis (division of the nucleus) is complete, this is the final step in cell division.
What is cytokinesis
500
What are some advantages of asexual reproduction?
Rapid increase of organisms No need to find a mate Rapid ability to spread into new areas.
500
The number of chromosomes in an organism's gametes
What is haploid
500
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are all ______________________
Nitrogen bases
500
A segment of RNA made up of three bases, which codes for a specific amino acid
What is a codon
