What is transcription?
A cell's DNA has 18 homologous chromosomes. This is the haploid number.
What is 9?
the proper order of mitosis stages
What is PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)?
Ribose sugar is part of this genetic molecule
What is RNA?
The reactants of photosynthesis
What are carbon dioxide, water and sunlight?
The mRNA sequence for the DNA template A - C - T - G - G - A - T - A - C
What is U - G - A - C - C - U - A - U - G ?
The number of useful gametes produced in a male after meiosis
What is 4?
Cell cycle phase where chromatin is not condensed and therefore not well-visualized under microscopy
What is Interphase?
Building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
This cell has no membrane-bound organelles
What is a prokaryotic cell?
RNA type that carries the genetic code out of the nucleus to the ribosome for protein synthesis
What is mRNA?
Cells containing 2 sets of chromosomes are referred to as this
What are diploid cells?
This is the template for the nucleotide sequence in mRNA
What is DNA?
These cells are produced by meiosis II and contain one set of chromosomes
What are gametes?
What is glycolysis?
Process of duplicating DNA to prepare for cell division
What is (DNA) replication?
A DNA sequence with 42 nucleotides would produce this many amino acids in a polypeptide chain
What is 14 amino acids?
This molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
What is tRNA?
Process of converting RNA to make proteins
What is translation?
These are the 5 properties of water that allow life on Earth to thrive
What are cohesion, adhesion, universal solvent, high heat capacity, density?
the tRNA anticodons from an mRNA sequence of U - G - A - C - C - U - A - U - G.
What is ACU - GGA - UAC ?
Diploid cell with duplicated chromosomes which turns into two diploid cells with no duplicated chromosomes has gone through this process.
What is mitosis?
What is a karyotype?
The meiosis stage that most closely resembles mitosis
What is meiosis II?
This bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between 2 or more atoms
What is a covalent bond?
