Le Miserable
100
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell and spindle fibers attach at the centromere.
What is metaphase?
100
The name of the cell cycle when cell division is not taking place.
What is Interphase?
100
This enzyme unzips the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds.
What is helicase?
100
The number of chromosomes in a human body cell.
What is 46?
100
In which country was Le Miserable set?
What is France? (Le Mis was actually set 40 years after the French Revolution, during an uprising called the June Rebellion.)
200
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense, spindle fibers appear, and the nucleus starts to disassemble.
What is prophase?
200
The number of stages in Interphase.
What is three? (G1, S, G2... maybe cytokinesis)
200
This enzyme shows DNA polymerase exactly where to start adding ACGT to the unzipped DNA.
What is primase?
200
The nucleotides that DNA Polymerase will add to the following strand: GTACTC
What is CATGAG?
200
The occupation of Javert, the antagonist in Le Mis.
What is a police inspector?
300
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes are completely separated, and two new nuclei form.
What is telophase?
300
The stage of cell cycle where the parent cell completely divides… forming two daughter cells.
What is Cytokinesis?
300
This enzyme adds base pairs (ACGT) to the unzipped DNA.
What is DNA polymerase?
300
When DNA is unzipped by the Helicase enzyme, two strands are formed, called theses.
What are leading and lagging strands?
300
The protagonist of Le Mis... the story begins with his release from prison after 19 years of hard labor.
Who was Jean Valjean?
400
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes separate, pulled apart by spindle fibers from centrioles.
What is anaphase?
400
The stage of interphase where DNA replication takes place.
What is synthesis?
400
This enzyme connects Okazaki fragments together in the lagging strand... it acts as a "gluer".
What is ligase?
400
The organelles that create spindle fibers and use them to move and separate chromosomes.
What are centrioles?
400
The crime that Jean Valjean committed that sent him to prison.
What is stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving children?
500
According to the diagram below, the stage of mitosis where the parent cell starts to divide into two daughter cells.
What is anaphase?
500
The stage of interphase where protein synthesis takes place.
What is G1 and/or G2?
500
DNA Polymerase moves in this direction on the lagging strand.
What is away from Helicase?
500
Small segments of replicated DNA on the lagging strand that need to be "glued" together.
What are Okazaki fragments?
500
The name of the young girl who Jean Valjean raises after her mother passed away.
Who is Cosette?
