Protein synthesis I
The first (of two) steps of protein synthesis
What is transcription?
The second (of two) steps of protein synthesis
What is translation?
This type of cell division results in two identical cells
What is mitosis?
This is a four-letter acronym for the stages of mitosis
What is PMAT
This provides instructions for which proteins to be made
What is a gene?
The end result of protein synthesis
What is a protein?
Proteins are made up of these
What are amino acids?
"Business as usual" for the cell
What is interphase?
This type of cell division results in gametes
What is meiosis?
A variation of a gene
What is an allele?
This molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation
What is tRNA?
This molecule replaces Thymine in when DNA is copied to RNA
What is uracil?
This type of cell division results in non-identical cells
What is meiosis?
In this stage of mitosis, chromosomes condense.
What is prophase?
This term is used for the observable, physical traits of an organism
What is a phenotype?
In what step is DNA used as a template to produce messenger RNA?
What is transcription?
The "t" in "tRNA" stands for this
What is transfer RNA?
Chromosomes decondense and unwind during this phase
What is telophase?
The final stage of cell division
What is cytokinesis?
The study of how environmental factors influence gene expression
A single codon codes for one of these
What is an amino acid?
This type of RNA is resposible for reading mRNA during translation
What is rRNA?
A chromosome may be made up of either one, or two, of these
Sister chromatids
During mitosis, these structures pull sister chromatids to opposite ends of the cell
What are spindle fibers?
A diagram that is used to predict genotypes in a cross breeding experiment.
