Transcription
The location in the cell where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
In RNA, the base that pairs with Cytosine.
What is Guanine?
The phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs.
During mitosis the cell divides into two new ________.
What are cells/daughter cells?
The ultimate purpose of transcription and translation.
What is protein synthesis?
In RNA, the base that pairs with Adenine.
What is Uracil?
This part of a tRNA molecule corresponds directly to a mRNA codon.
What is an anti-codon?
The phase of the cell cycle where new organelles are made to prepare for division.
What is Gap 2?
The acronym used to help remember the stages of Mitosis in order.
What is PMAT?
Spindle fibers anchor to these to prepare for chromosome separation.
What are centrioles/centrosomes?
These bonds have to be broken in order for the bases of DNA to be separated and copied.
What are hydrogen bonds?
When reading a codon chart, you look at sequences of this molecule.
What is mRNA?
Moments in the cell cycle where the cell can be transferred to Gap 0 and prevented from dividing.
What are checkpoints?
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). After S-phase, a human will have _______ chromosomes.
What are 92 chromosomes?
The major difference between DNA and RNA besides base pairing.
What is single-stranded/double-stranded?
A long chain of amino acids; the product of translation.
What is a polypeptide chain/protein?
Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2 are together referred to as this phase.
What is Interphase?
What process occurs at the same time as Telophase in Mitosis?
What is cytokinesis?
The process by which mRNA, ribosomes, and tRNA are used to build a new protein.
What is translation?
This mRNA codon usually indicates the beginning of an amino acid.
What is Met/Methionine?
Two places in the cell where you can find RNA.
What is the nucleus? What is the nucleolus? What are ribosomes? What is the rough ER? What is the cytoplasm?
During this life stage most human's cells move through the cell cycle the fastest.
What is prenatal development/the fetal period/etc.?
Bacteria undergo mitosis _______ than eukaryotes (organisms with cell that have nuclei).
What is 'faster'?
Where rRNA is located.
What are ribosomes?
