100

What phase does DNA replicate?

S phase

100

The stage interphase when the cell prepares for mitosis.

What is the G2 stage? 

100

Chromosomes are made of DNA. They contain segments of codes called...

genes

200
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
200
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C A G T
What is U A A G C G U C A
200

DNA is unzipped by this enzyme

helicase

200

The stage of interphase when DNA replicates

What is the S phase?

200

true or false: chromosomes can be EITHER in the shape of a single line OR an "x"

true

300
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
300
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
300

After the two DNA strands are unzipped, another enzyme, primase, lays down what?

RNA primer

300

The longest stage of the cell cycle.

What is Interphase?

300

condensed "thread like" structures that carry genetic information from cell to cell are called

chromosomes

400
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
400
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
400

What is DNA polymerase responsible for?

laying down complimentary bases/ nucleotides

400

During this phase the cell grows and synthesizes various enzymes and nutrients that are needed later on for DNA replication and cell division.

What is G1 Phase?

400

What are sister chromatids?

when a chromosome makes a copy of itself

connected at centromere/ kinetochore

500
The reason why DNA replication happens.
What is to pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division?
500
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
500

After the new strands of DNA are built, which enzyme seals the sugar phosphate backbone?

Ligase

500

Mature cardiac cells and nerve cell often enter this phase, during which they are inactive and are not preparing to divide.

What is the G0 phase?

500

What does "homogenous chromosomes" mean?

same or similar genes

one from mom and one from dad
