DNA 1
Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
What is the name of the control center
What is the nucleus?
What is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
What is mitosis?
Cell spends 90% of its time here (Normal cell life)
What is interphase
Which type of reproduction creates identical copies of the parent
Asexual
What are the 4 letters we learned that represent the amino acids in a persons DNA
A, C, T, G
What is the significance of cytokinesis in cell division?
What is dividing the 1 cell into 2 cells?
In this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes align?
What is Metaphase?
DNA synthesis occurs during
S phase of interphase
Draw the 3 part unit that makes up DNA
Draw a nucleotide
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell?
What is anaphase?
Strings that controls chromosome movement away from each other during mitosis
What are spindle fibers
This organism creates its own pollen and self-pollinates its eggs. What type of reproduction is occurring?
Sexual
What is the monomer that makes up a strand of DNA
Nucleotide
Which part of the DNA strand is considered the rails of the ladder?
Phosphate and sugar
What are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order) Write the full names out.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophases?
Which part of the cell cycle includes mitosis and cytokinesis?
M phase
An all female lizard population reproduces individually. The offspring is an identical copy to its mother. What type of reproduction is this?
Replicate the following strand of DNA
ATCCGA
TAGGCT
Draw a DNA strand with each part of the nucleotide included and the bases labeled and paired correctly
See drawing
the chromosomes first start to condense in this phase
What is prophase?
This will happen if the cells do not go through the process of Mitosis
Come up with an example of a unique for of asexual reproduction. You can use your notes.
