General
This states that DNA is copied to RNA and results in the formation of proteins
What is central dogma?
This event takes place in the nucleus when a cell begins the meiosis process
What is DNA replication?
When DNA is copied/transferred to mRNA in the nucleus
What is transcription?
This base is not contained in RNA
What is thymine (T)?
Adenine always pairs with this base in DNA
What is thymine (T)?
This term refers to the decoding of mRNA in a ribosome and results in a protein
What is translation?
This process results in four haploid (having half the original chromosomes) cells
What is meiosis?
Translation takes place in this part of the cell
What is cytoplasm?
Cytosine always pairs with this base
What is guanine (G)?
This process requires gametes from two parents in order to produce offspring
What is sexual reproduction?
Another name for the reproductive cells in sexual reproduction
What are germ cells?
Humans have this many chromosomes in a cell
What is 23 pairs or 46?
This rule helps you determine the sequence on the other side of a double helix
What is the base paring rule?
Uracil pairs with this base in RNA
What is adenine (A)?
This base always pairs with cytosine in both DNA and RNA
What is guanine?
The division of cytoplasm at the end of mitosis and meiosis
What is cytokinesis?
The number of daughter cells produced by one original cell during meiosis
What is four?
The term for what happens when a gene is altered or damaged during replication
What is mutation?
This structure acts as a messenger, carrying information to the ribosome
What is mRNA?
This term refers to most cells in the body (NOT a germ cell)
What are somatic cells?
The process by which somatic cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells
What is mitosis?
Only these cells go through meiosis
What are germ cells?
The term for the structure within the cell nucleus containing the genes (humans have 23 pairs)
What are chromosomes?
Each three base unit is called this in both DNA and RNA
What is a codon?
This base can never pair with thymine
What is guanine or cytosine?
