Definitions
The time interval between cellular reproduction
What is interphase?
A three nucleotide base sequence on tRNA
What is an anticodon?
The four stages of mitosis in order
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
The process by which a diploid cell forms gametes
What is meiosis?
What is about 24 hours?
A cell with chromosomes that come in homologous pairs or two sets of chromosomes (2n)
What is a diploid cell?
A sequence of three nucleotide bases on mRNA that refers to a specific amino acid
What is a codon?
Resembles mitosis most
What is meiosis II?
The process by which a haploid cell with duplicated chromosomes turns into two haploid cells with no duplicated chromosomes.
What is meiosis II?
The phase when chromosomes condense, and duplicate. Centrioles duplicate. Microtubles from spindle attach to chromosomes and start moving toward the equatorial plane.
What is prophase?
The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to their homologus pairs
What is a karyotype?
For how many amino acids would this strand code?uracil, guanine, cytosine, cytosine, guanine, adenine, uracil, adenine, adenine
What is three?
Four cells with a diploid number of 12 go through meiosis. The resulting number of cells and total chromosomes in each.
What are 16 cells with 6 chromosomes?
The process by which a diploid cell with duplicated chromosomes turns into two diploid cells with NO duplicated chromosomes.
What is mitosis?
In the cell cycle, the phase in which DNA replication occurs.
What is the S phase?
Haploid cells produced by diploid cells for the purpose of sexual reproduction
What are gametes?
A strand of mRNA has the following sequence guanine, adenine, uracil. Write the corresponding tRNA sequence.
What is cytosine, uracil, adenine?
6 cells go through mitosis. Each cell has a diploid number of 16. The total resulting number of cells and total chromosomes in each cell.
What are 12 cells with a total of 16 total chromosomes in each cell.
To introduce genetic variability during meiosis I, what function occurs during prophase I?
What is crossing over (genetic recombination)?
The phase when the cytoplasm splits in two completing the division of the cell.
What is cytokinesis?
The result of sexual reproduction when each parent contributes half of the DNA necessary for the offspring.
Zygote
Given the DNA sequence CAGCTA, write the corresponding RNA sequence.
What is GUCGAU?
The Diploid and Haploid number of a cell's DNA with 16 pairs of homologus chromosomes.
What are 32 diploid number and 16 haploid number?
The process by which one diploid cell turns into two haploid cells WITH duplicated chromosomes.
What is meiosis I?
The phase when the duplicate chromosomes and their originals are split, each going toward the centrioles
What is anaphase?
