Definitions
These factors are based on an individual's genetic information.
What are genetic factors?
The type of RNA that is responsible for transcription
What is mRNA?
The loose state of the genetic material before a cell enters into mitosis.
What is chromatin?
The type of cell that is produced from a diploid cell.
What is a haploid cell?
The name of the medication that helps prevent infection of disease by presenting the body with a weakened or inactive version of a pathogen, stimulating the body to produce antibodies.
What is a vaccine?
A section of DNA that codes for a trait/protein.
What is a gene?
The place that translation takes place.
What is a ribosome?
The name of all of the phases of mitosis, including interphase.
What is the cell cycle?
The phase that most resembles mitosis.
What is meiosis II?
Two characteristics that viruses possess.
What is possessing some genetic material and inability to reproduce on their own?
The section that binds sister chromatids together
What is the centromere?
The part of tRNA that matches a specific nucleotide sequence on mRNA.
What is an anticodon?
Before the cell enters into prophase, the genetic material duplicates to form these.
What are sister chromatids?
At the end of meiosis I, these are separated from one another.
What are homologous pairs?
The name of the process of a virus infecting a cell.
What is the lytic pathway?
A specialized protein that is produced by immune cells that help aid in destroying pathogens.
What is an antibody?
The nucleotide base found in RNA which corresponds with adenine.
What is uracil?
During late prophase and metaphase, the chromosomes line up in this area.
What is the equatorial plane?
At the end of meiosis II, these are separated from each other.
What are sister chromatids?
The type of cell that is responsible for fighting pathogens by engulfing.
What is a phagocytic cell?
The figure, or map, that is produced when chromosomes arrange themselves according to their homologous pairs.
What is a karyotype?
A gene in a eukaryotic cell contains sections of DNA that do not code for anything, they act as spacers and are often referred to as "junk DNA".
What are introns?
The name of the chromosomes that are similar but are not the same.
What are homologous chromosome pairs?
The name of the cells that are produces at the end of meiosis II in females; they are not viable gametes.
What are polar bodies?
The tissue where some of the phagocytic cells reside, the tissue can be found at various locations throughout the body.
What are lymph nodes?
