Chapter 6
Metabolism is said to be this when there is enough oxygen reaching your cells.
What is Aerobic
These are the four nucleotides of DNA.
What is Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine (A, T, C, G)
RNA uses this nucleotide instead of thymine
What is uracil
In order, mitosis is split into these four stages
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
The famous plant biologist, known as the father of modern genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel
Cellular respiration requires that a cell exchange what two gases with its environment?
What is O2 and CO2
Chargaff stated that DNA bases pair in this way
What is consistent / A-T, C-G
This is the process of enzymes using the gene's DNA sequence as a template to assemble a strand of mRNA
What is transcription
Interphase has three stages- G1, S, and G2. This occurs during the S stage
What is DNA synthesis (Replication)
A Punnett square is used to determine this
What is the possible genotypes of offspring
During glycolysis, a molecule of glucose is split into two molecules of this compound
What is pyruvate (pyruvic acid)
These are the three components of a DNA nucleotide.
What is a five-carbon sugar, three phosphate groups, and a nitrogenous base
This term describes a set of three nucleotides. These three nucleotides form "words" with the bases (A, U, G, C)
What is a codon
This process generates four, haploid nuclei
What is Mieosis
A sperm or egg carries this many alleles for each inherited character/trait
What is one
During the citric acid cycle, pyruvate loses a carbon as CO2. The resulting molecule (acetic acid) is attached to a coenzyme, forming this
What is Acetyl CoA
1) Transmit a full complement of hereditary information
2)Be found in the same amounts in cells of a given species
3) Be exempt from major change
4)Be capable of encoding a huge amount of information- enough to build an entirely new individual
What are the requirements to function as hereditary material
Eukaryotic cells modify their RNA before it leaves the nucleus. The sequences that stay are called this
What are exons (Introns are the removed sequences)
During this phase, sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite spindle poles
What is Anaphase
This term refers to a specific location of a gene along a chromosome
(Blank) swoops in to collect the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain during cellular respiration. (So they don't become free radicals)
What is oxygen
This is an image of an individual's complement of chromosomes, arranged by size, length, shape, and centromere location.
What is a karyotype
The start codon "AUG" specifies this amino acid
What is methionine
Meiosis shuffles parental combinations of alleles in a process called crossing over. Crossing over occurs during this phase of meiosis.
What is Prophase 1
Human males and female both have this many autosomes
What is 44
