100
The time between cell divisions where cells grow, and chromosomes replicate.
What is interphase?
200
The process of duplicating DNA in preparation for cell Division.
What is DNA replication?
200
DNA strand has the following sequence of nucleotides:
T- A - C - G - C - A - A - T - G - C - C - A - A - T - T
What will mRNA sequence be?
A-U-G-C-G-U-U-A-C-G-G-U-U
mRNA contains uracil not thymine
200
A diploid cell with duplicated chromosomes turns into 2 diploid cells.
Did the cell go through mitosis, meiosis I or meiosis II?
Mitosis starts with diploid cells and ends with diploid cells.
200
This is part of an mRNA strand, what is the sequence of the DNA template?
A-U-G-U-G-C-C-G-A-U-A-A
T-A-C-A-C-G-G-C-T-A-T-T
300

What is mRNA?
300
What are the tRNA anticodons for this strand of DNA
T-A-C-G-C-A-A-T-G-C-C-A-A-T-T ?
U-A-C-G-C-A-A-U-G-C-C-A-A-U-U
300
A haploid cell with duplicated chromosomes turns into two haploid cells with no duplicated chromosomes. Did the cell go through mitosis, meiosis I or meiosis II?
Meiosis II
it starts with 2 haploid cells and pulls apart the sister chromatids (duplicated chromosomes)
300
The process of making a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA.
What is transcription.
400
The process of using RNA to make proteins.
What is translation?
400
A cell's DNA has 19 pairs of homologous chromosomes. What is its diploid number and haploid number?
19 diploids
38 haploids
400
A single diploid cell goes through meiosis. Only one useful gamete is produced. Did this meiosis take place in male or female?
Female
Only one useful gamete is produced.
400
Three cells that each has a diploid number of 32 go through mitosis. How many cells result and how many total chromosomes are in each cell?
6 cells result, each will have total chromosomes each.
In mitosis one cell becomes two cells that are identical to the original .
500
A figure showing metaphase chromosomes arranged by homologous pairs.
What is a Karyotype.
500
A sequence of DNA has 120 nucleotides.
How many amino acids would be in the resulting polypeptide chain?
40 amino acids.
500
Which resembles mitosis most:
meiosis I or meiosis II ?
Meiosis II
It is essentially mitosis performed on haploid cells.
500
This molecule brings the amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
What is tRNA?
