Cell Cycle
During this phase, a cell grows, duplicates organelles, and copies DNA.
Interphase
What are the first three nucleotides of the complementary RNA strand of T A G A G T C?
AUG
DNA molecule is described as this shape
Double helix
During this process, proteins are synthesized by ribosomes using information on mRNA
Translation
23 chromosomes in humans, n
Haploid
During which stage from the below does the cytoplasm of a cell divide?
G1, Synthesize, G2, Mitosis
Mitosis
The complete genetic makeup of an organism
genotype
Complete the matching DNA strand: CCG
GGC
What amino acids will be produced from the following mRNA codons: UUC CUC AGA?
Phe- Leu- Arg
46 chromosomes in humans, 2n
Diploid
If a cell is going under mitosis and starts off with 6 chromosomes, how many chromosomes do the last two have?
6
Different genes independently separate from one another during meiosis
independent assortment
A DNA strand with the sequence AAC is transcribed. What is the sequence of the mRNA strand?
UUG
This event is an important factor in increasing variety among sexually reproducing organisms
Crossing over
A cell with a diploid number of 24 chromosomes undergoes meiosis; how many chromosomes are in each daughter cell?
12
Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces
Somatic cells
A change in the DNA sequence of an organism
mutation
DNA replication takes place in this organelle
Nucleus
This is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues
Cancer
Crossing over occurs during this phase
Prophase 1
This type of cell goes under meiosis
Gametes
The observable characteristics or traits of an organism
phenotype
Their main job is to deliver DNA's instructions for making proteins
Answer: mRNA
The process of taking DNA and making a copy of mRNA that occurs in the nucleus is called
Transcription
Egg + sperm =
zygote
