DNA Structure
DNA Replication
100
This phase involves normal growth of the cell
What is G-1?
100
This connects two sister chromatids.
What is the centromere?
100
Meiosis is involved in this form of reproduction.
What is sexual reproduction?
100
The structure of DNA was discovered by this famous duo.
Who are Watson and Crick?
100
This enzyme helps unwind the double helix into two separate strands for transcription.
What is helicase?
200
This phase is when the cell duplicates its DNA.
What is Synthesis phase?
200
Microtubules contract, thereby pinching the cell into two parts, during this phase.
What is telophase?
200
Flowering plants are dominant in this type of generation.
What is sporophyte?
200
DNA uses these types of bases.
What are nucleotides?
200
Mutations involving the deletion or addition of a base are known as these.
What are frameshift mutations?
300
If a cell needs to perform its function, it exits the cell cycle and joins this phase.
What is G-zero?
300
During this phase, centrioles form and move to opposite poles of the cell.
What is metaphase?
300
DNA replication occurs only before this stage of meiosis.
What is prophase I?
300
DNA is grouped into triplets called these.
What are codons?
300
The protein that holds the DNA strands apart during replication.
What are binding proteins?
400
Enzymes and other helpers for mitosis are made during this phase.
What is G-2?
400
DAILY DOUBLE - During anaphase, these motor proteins move the sister chromatids apart, drawing them to opposite centrioles.
What are kinetochores/spindle fibers?
400
The haploid number of chromosomes is achieved after this phase.
What is anaphase II?
400
The optimal structure to store information is this.
What is a double helix?
400
Before DNA polymerase can make complementary pairings of a strand, one of these must provide the base code for it to start off.
What is an RNA primer?
500
When a cell dies, it commits this, effectively ending its cell cycle.
What is apoptosis?
500
In plant cells, this forms during cytokinesis in order to separate the two daughter cells.
What is the cell plate?
500
These forms in female meiosis are used to provide cytoplasmic contents to the mature egg.
What are the polar bodies?
500
Just as Adenine and Guanine are known as purines due to their structure, the other two bases are structured in this form.
What is pyrimidine?
500
DNA polymerase only moves towards this end of the DNA it is creating?
What is the 3 prime end of the DNA?
