Mitosis
100
These make up the "steps" of the ladder.
What are bases?
100

The process of a cell making an exact copy of itself.

What is Mitosis? (Cell Cycle also an acceptable answer.)

100

The G0 phase (referred to the G zero phase) or resting phase is a period in the cell cycle in which cells exist in a quiescent state. G0 phase is viewed as either an extended G1 phase, where the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide or a distinct quiescent stage that occurs outside of the cell cycle. When cells cannot stop in this phase what is the outcome? 

What is Cancer?

100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100

This phase is specifically where DNA is doubled 

What is S Phase?

200
The sugars and the phosphates make up this part of the DNA.
What is the "sugar phosphate backbone"?
200

The phase where chromosomes are lined up in the center.

What is Metaphase?

200

How many hydrogen bonds are there between an Adenine and Thymine

What is two?

200

This stage is where chromosomes are released. 

What is Prophase?

200

True or False, Cytokinesis is considered part of mitosis. 

What is False?

300

What is DNA called when it is coiled up to save space?

What are Chromosomes?

300
The phase when 2 nuclear envelopes have surrounded chromosomes at each pole.
What is Telophase?
300

True or False, DNA is always going from 3 prime to 5 prime. 

What is false?

300
The phase where sister chromatids begin to separate and move towards the separate poles.
What is Anaphase?
300

This is the part of the cell cycle that is preparing for cell division.

What is G2?

400

There are three parts to a nucleotide.

What is phosphate, base and sugar

400
The process where the cell pinches in the cytoplasm is split up.
What is Cytokinesis?

B. Nitrogenous base 

C. Amino acid 

D. Phosphate group

What is C? 

400

This is the longest phase of the cell cycle.

What is Interphase?

400

The earth is 93 million miles away from the sun, how many times can DNA from your body got THERE AND BACK. There and back, think about it. 

What is 200 times?

500

The "twisted ladder" shape of DNA

What is a double helix?

500

The phase where all the DNA is being replicated.

What is S phase?
