DNA
DNA looks like this.
What is a twisted ladder, or a double helix?
Each tRNA has this to match a specific codon.
What is anticodon?
The building blocks of DNA.
This cell division creates IDENTICAL daughter cells.
What is Mitosis?
Reproduction that uses gametes.
What is sexual reproduction?
What DNA stands for
What is Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid?
This reads the coded message on the tRNA and uses it to create proteins.
What is a ribosome?
When two gametes join together, they create this.
What is a zygote?
The phase when two nuclear membranes start to reappear around two complete nuclei.
What is the telophase?
What is irreducible complexity?
In a nucleotide, this is always paired with guanine
What is cytosine?
In tRNA, this replaces thymine in a nucleotide
What is uracil?
What is interphase?
A special reproduction cell that carries half of a parent organism's genetic code.
What is a gamete?
The "sides" of the DNA ladder is made up of these.
What is sugar and phosphate?
During transcription, this "unzips" the DNA molecule.
What is an enzyme?
What is translation?
Most cells contain two sets of chromosomes and are called this.
What is a diploid cell?
The last stage of mitosis, when the cell splits into two new daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
What is an engineered system?
A small section of DNA contains this
What are genes?
Sets of 3 nucleotides are called this.
What are codons?
The phase when chromosomes align between spindles at the center of a cell.
What is the metaphase?
Daughter cell created in meiosis that contains only one set of DNA genes.
What is a haploid?
The phases of mitosis in the correct order they occur.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase?
