Cell Cycle
This is the longest part of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
This is the part of the cell cycle where the cell replicates its DNA and prepares to divide
What is Interphase?
This is the primary purpose of somatic cell division
What is producing cells for growth, repair, and maintenance?
This is the central dogma of biology, or
how genetic information flows.
What is DNA to RNA to Proteins?
This is the enzyme that unzips and unwinds DNA during replication.
What is Helicase?
This is defined as the division of the nucleus.
What is Mitosis?
This is the phase in which DNA synthesis happens
What is S phase?
This is how each daughter cell contains the same genetic information as the original after Mitosis
What is DNA synthesis?
This interaction between DNA and Histone proteins results in a more relaxed structure that allows transcription
What is Acetylation?
This is the enzyme that synthesises the new strand of DNA during replication
What is DNA polymerase?
This is defined as the division of the cytoplasm.
What is Cytokinesis?
During this phase, the cell synthesises the DNA
What is S phase?
This is the phase where the DNA condenses
What is prophase?
This can cause the chromatin to bind tightly so that genes cannot be transcribed
What is DNA methylation?
This is the enzyme that keeps the DNA strand from supercoiling during replication.
What is Topoisomerase?
This is somatic cell division
During this phase the cell is preparing for division
What is the G2 phase?
This is the division of the cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis?
This is the average number of proteins that are produced per gene
What is 40?
This is the enzyme that connects(bonds) the Okazaki fragments in the lagging strand
What is Ligase?
This is the number of chromosomes humans have
What are 46 or 23 pairs?
This is the resting phase for nondividing cells
What is G0?
During this phase, sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles
What is anaphase?
Post-translational modification and this type of modification allow many proteins to be produced from so few genes
What is Post-Transcriptional Modification?
This is the enzyme that synthesizes the mRNA strand during transcription.
What is RNA polymerase?
