The Cell
The part of the cell that controls the activities of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The process by which one cell increases to two cells.
What is mitosis?
Where the information for ALL the parts of the organism is found.
What are the genes?
This is the process where information found in the DNA gets communicated to the mRNA.
What is transcription?
The process whereby 2N cells become 1N cells.
What is meiosis?
Chromosomes consist of smaller subunits known as this.
What are genes?
During this phase of mitosis, the cell is doing its normal job.
What is DNA?
The process by which the information found on the mRNA gets communicated to the ribosomes which link together the amino acids to create the desired protein.
What is translation?
The process in which two 1N (haploid) cells join to result in one 2N (diploid) cell.
What is fertilization?
The part of the cell responsible for generating energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This hormone is the signal for cells to start mitosis.
What is the growth hormone?
DNA is the abbreviation for this?
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
Amino acids which are available in the cytoplasm have *this* attached to them. It functions like keys that allow them to be attached to the mRNA.
What is transfer RNA or tRNA?
These cells have both chromosomes present from the father and from the mother.
What are somatic cells?
This is the process by which various substances to pass through the cell membrane while limiting others.
What is osmosis?
In the early stages of this phase, the strands of chromatin coil up to become visible chromosomes. Then later, the chromosomes make copies of themselves.
What is prophase?
The vertical component of DNA is made up of alternating ribose sugar units and this.
What are phosphate groups?
Inaccuracies in these processes are known as this.
What are genetic mutations?
Examples of common methods of asexual reproduction.
What are binary fission, budding, vegetative propagation, sporogenesis, and fragmentation?
A cell organelle which manufactures polypeptides from amino acids.
What are ribosomes?
During this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes align themselves beside each other.
What is the metaphase?
Adenine bonds with this and guanine bonds with this.
What is thymine and cytosine?
This can cause changes in the DNA of skin cells which results in abnormal growth and multiplication of the cells and is commonly known as skin cancer or melanoma.
This animal can reproduce using both methods.
What is a starfish?
