Organelles
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell and is responsible for producing energy.
What is the mitochondria?
In this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and are preparing to be pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
What is metaphase?
This is the term for each pair of similar chromosomes, one that is received from your mom and one from your dad.
What are homologous chromosomes?
When DNA is transcribed to mRNA, this nitrogenous base takes the place of thymine.
What is uracil?
This macromolecule provides 9 kcal of energy.
What is a lipid?
This organelle is composed of tiny granules of RNA.
What is a ribosome?
In this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes are being pulled to opposite sides of the cells, resulting in them looking like "antennas"
What is anaphase?
In this phase of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes will being to condense and the spindle fibers will begin to form at opposite poles of the cells.
What is prophase I?
This terms refers to a sequence of 3 nitrogenous bases that forms a genetic code. (I.e. UAG)
This macromolecule is found in the nucleus.
What is a nucleic acid?
This organelle packages and releases proteins and secretes lipids.
What is the golgi complex?
In this phase of interphase, the cell will synthesize proteins in preparation for mitosis.
What is the S phase?
What are 4 haploid cells?
This molecule decodes the mRNA strand inside of the ribosome and creates a complementary RNA strand.
The monomer of this macromolecule is a monosaccharide.
This organelle serves as a storage site for food, nutrients, and other essentials that a cell may need to survive.
What is the vacuole?
This occurs over the entire process of mitosis, results in the cell being divided into two identical cells, and is most visible during telophase.
What is cytokinesis?
In this phase of meiosis, the sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell and are preparing to be pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
What is metaphase II?
This is the enzyme that is responsible for creating the complementary strand of DNA during replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
This macromolecule is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
What is a protein?
This organelle digests excess or worn out organelles and removes waste.
What is a lysosome?
This is the end product of mitosis.
In this phase of meiosis, 4 haploid cells are obtained and meiosis is complete.
What is telophase II?
This is step is the ending of transcription, and occurs when RNA polymerase crosses a stop sequence in the gene.
What is termination?
What is a nucleic acid?
