DNA and Genes
Needs information in order to live, grow, and reproduce.
What is cells?
Information in a gene being transcribe into what before being sent out of the nucleus.
What is mRNA?
The cycle of growth and reproduction in cells.
What is the cell cycle?
What scientist call the DNA-copying process.
What is replication?
A specific segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein.
What is a gene?
Cells store information in a kind of nucleic acid.
What is DNA?
Differs from DNA in being only a single strand instead of a double strand.
What is mRNA?
Part of the cell division in which the nucleus is divided.
What is Mitosis?
Converting the DNA code into a protein.
What is translation?
What is DNA replication?
What is gene?
Describes the shape of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
The longest part of the cell cycle. The cell is growing and functioning normally. It ends the phase by the cell copying the DNA.
What is interphase?
The long DNA molecule made up of many smaller subunits.
What is nucleotides?
This base bonds with adenine in the RNA process.
What is uracil
Consist of sugar, a phosphate, and one of four bases.
What is a nucleotide?
This DNA base pairs with guanine?
What is cytosine?
What is meiosis?
A group of things that are planned, designed, and built to work together to do certain job.
What is an engineered system?
Determines the order of amino acids in a protein.
What is the sequence of codons in DNA?
Four bases of DNA.
What is adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine?
Finished mRNA molecules exit the nucleus through pores in what cell structure?
What is the nuclear membrane?
The last phase of the cell cycle where the parent cell’s cytoplasm is divided between the two new daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
Diploid cell that results from fertilization.
What is a zygote?
Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the mRNA that is on the ribosome so that they can be added to the protein being made.
What is tRNA?
