What is DNA replication?

This is the process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus.

100

What are the 2 phases (stages) we talked about the cell cycle?

Interphase and mitosis

Interphase and mitosis


shhh...we are missing a 3rd stage

100

Where is the location of DNA in animal cells.

In the nucleus

What are cancer cells?

rapidly and uncontrollable cells

200

What is the shape of DNA?

Double helix

200

What enzyme breaks the hydrogen bond?

DNA - Helicase

200

The phase the cell spends the most time in during cell division

Interphase

200

What enzyme "glues" the old strand of DNA to the new strand of DNA?

Watson & Crick

300

What are the four nitrogen bases?


Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine

300

What is mitosis?

This is the stage during the cell cycle when the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei.

The cell is actually dividing.

300

What are chromosomes?

Genetic information is stored in packages of DNA. Humans have 46 pairs of these.

mitosis

400

What happens during S Phase of the cell cycle?

DNA Replication

400

When cancer cells grow rapidly and "dog pile each other" and they pile up. What can happen? A growth or mass of cancerous cells is called a ....

Tumor

500

What is the backbone of the DNA composed of?

Phosphate and Deoxyribose (sugar)

500

What are the four steps of DNA replication? (in order)

Unwind, Separate, Replicate, Back into chromosome

500

What are the purpose of the checkpoints in the cell cycle?

-Is the cell growing?

-Is the DNA being replicated and correctly?

-Is the cell functioning properly?

500

Code for this sequence:
