100
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome.
What is a locus?
200
A general explanation that has been tested many times.
What is a theory?
200
The two common secondary structures found in proteins.
What are alpha helices and beta sheets?
200
The location of DNA inside the cell, often referred to as the "brain" of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
200
The region where the two sister chromatids are connected.
What is the centromere?
200
The phase of meiosis where sister chromatids separate and travel towards different poles in the cell.
What is Anaphase II?
300
The three domains that encompass all life.
What is eukarya, bacteria, archaea?
300
The reaction that breaks down polymers by removing one monomers from the chain.
What is hydrolysis?
300
The organelle that produces ATP, divides independently of the cell and contains its own ribosomes.
What is the mitochondria?
300
Two important signaling molecules during the cell cycle that signal when mitosis can begin.

The six phases of mitosis.
What are Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis?
500
The idea that describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop.
What is the Principle of Independent Assortment?
