Place these phases in the right order.
Mitosis, Synthesis, Gap1, Gap2, Cytokinesis
What is Gap1, Synthesis, Gap2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
These are the parts of a nucleotide that make up the backbone of the DNA.
What are the sugars and phosphates?
These help keep the cell regulated. They are there to make sure cell division occurs accurately and without mistakes.
What are checkpoints?
This is a series of steps to divide the contents of the nucleus.
What is Mitosis?
During DNA replication each strand in the double helix acts as a template for synthesis of a new complimentary strand. This is the word that describes that.
What is semiconservative?
This is the process of dividing the contents of the cell's nucleus.
What is mitosis?
These are the parts of a nucleotide that make up the "rungs" of DNA and determine traits.
What are the nitrogenous bases?
All mistakes are caught in the checkpoints during cell division.
What is FALSE?
This is the division of the cytoplasm resulting in 2 identical daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
This is the phase in Mitosis that the DNA is replicated.
What is the S-phase (synthesis) of the cell cycle?
This is the complimentary strand to this single strand of DNA
3' ATGGCTAA 5'
What is TACCGATT ?
True or False
DNA is a single helix polymer.
What is FALSE?
This is what happens when disruptions in the cell cycle lead to uncontrollable division and growth.
What is cancer or tumors?
In this phase the spindle fibers align chromosomes along the MIDDLE of the cell.
What is METAPHASE?
This is the name of the enzyme that opens up the DNA so it can be copied.
What is helicase?
Remember most enzymes end in -ASE.
This is uncontrollable cell growth.
What is Cancer?
These are the three components of DNA.
What is a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base (ATCG)?
If the cell division is not accurate or there are mistakes, this is what happens to the cell if it us caught at one of the checkpoints.
What is cell death or apoptosis.
This is the first phase in Mitosis. This is where the chromatin packs into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane breaks down and the spindle fibers form.
What is PROPHASE?
This is another enzyme that works with helicase to open the DNA, read the original template strand, and pair up new bases with the original template of bases before being resealed.
What is DNA polymerase?
This is the part of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated.
What is the S-Phase?
True or False?
All living things share the same 4 nucleotides in their DNA. The difference is the number and order that they are arranged.
Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine.
What is true?
This is one place where the checkpoints take place.
G1, G2, or M
In this phase the spindle fibers shorten pulling the sister chromatids APART and towards the opposite sides of the cell.
What is ANAPHASE?
Mitosis results in 2 identical daughter cells.
What is true?
