DNA
DNA stands for
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
The definition of DNA replication is
process of copying DNA
The definition of cell cycle is
the life cycle of a cell
Mitosis is the division of the
nucleus
Adenine pairs with
thymine
DNA's function is to
store all genetic material
DNA replication begins at the
origins of replications or replication fork
This is the longest phase of the cell cycle
interphase
Mitosis is this type of reproduction
asexual
Cytosine pairs with
The steps of the DNA molecule are made of
Nitrogenous bases
This enzyme unwinds the DNA molecule
helicase
A body cell is also known as this
a somatic cell
The four phases in mitosis are
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
The complementary strand for
A T T C G A A G G C is
T A A G C T T C C G
The backbone of a DNA molecule contains
phosphate group and a sugar
This enzyme acts as the glue or tape for joining Okazaki fragments
ligase
The three phases in interphase are known as
G1 = growth
S = DNA synthesis
G2 = growth, organelle replication
Because daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells, they are known as being
If adenine makes up 24 percent of a DNA molecule, thymine makes up
24 percent
The four nitrogenous bases are
adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine
An Okazaki fragment is made up of
corresponding nucleotides
This is where cells go if they do not pass a checkpoint
G0
Cells produced from mitosis contain this number of chromosomes
46
If guanine makes up 17 percent of a DNA molecule, thymine makes up
33 percent
