What is transcription?
100
The three phases of translation
What are initiation, elongation, and termination?
200
The phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated
What is the S phase?
200
This feature of DNA is described by the fact that adenine and thymine pair together, and cytosine and guanine pair together.
What is complementary base pairing?
200
The phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids separate
What is anaphase?
200
Homologous chromosomes align together during this process
What is synapsis?
200
The reading of mRNA to form protein
What is translation?
200
A group of structure and regulating genes that function as a single unit in bacteria
What is an operon?
300
The phase of the cell cycle in which the cell synthesizes proteins needed for cell division and ensures DNA is done replicating
What is the G2 phase?
300
The enzyme responsible for unwinding DNA prior to replication
What is DNA helicase?
300
The phase of mitosis in which chromosomes begin to attach to the spindle via attachment to kinetochores
What is prometaphase?
300
The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes
What is crossing over?
300
The triplicate code that mRNA is read by
What are codons?
300
The level of gene regulation control mediated by DNA methylation and chromatin packing
What is pre-transcriptional control?
400
The process that occurs if DNA damage is detected during the cell cycle that cannot be fixed
What is apoptosis?
400
DNA replication is called __________ because each DNA molecule contains one new strand and one old strand
What is semiconservative?
400
The phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope disintegrates
What is prophase?
400
Homologous chromosomes align across from one another at the metaphase plate - how each pair of chromosomes aligns is independent of the others - which is described by this term
What is independent assortment?
400
The location of transcription and translation
What is the nucleus (transcription) and the ribosome (translation)?
400
A permanent change in the sequence of bases in DNA that can impact how genes are expressed
What is a gene mutation?
500
The phase in which most of the cell cycle is spent
What is interphase?
500
The sequence of bases in the complementary DNA strand if one strand is 5' AGCGTC 3'
What is 3' TCGCAG 5'?
500
The phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope reforms after sister chromatids have separated
What is telophase?
500
This phase of meiosis is where homologous chromosomes begin to separate
What is anaphase I?
500
The form of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
What is tRNA?
500
