Mitosis
This process makes cells that are ______________ (identical/different).
identical
Any change in the sequence of DNA is called this.
What is a mutation?
In DNA, cytosine (C) always bonds with this base.
Guanine (G)
This process makes cells that are ______________ (identical/different).
different
Cell division that goes through the phases of Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis TWICE. (mitosis or meiosis)
What is meiosis?
The number of cells made by this process.
2
Another name for the disorder known as Trisomy 21.
Down's Syndrome
The shape of DNA is described as this.
Double helix
The number of cells made by this process.
4
The phase of growth and development before mitosis/meiosis when the DNA duplicates.
The phase of growth and development between cell divisions.
Makes these kinds of cells which contain TWO of every chromosome.
What is diploid? Or what is daughter cells?
A mutation produced by improper separation of chromosomes during meiosis.
What is nondisjunction?
These two molecules make up the backbone or sides of a DNA molecule.
Sugar and phosphate
Makes these kinds of cells which containing only one set of chromosomes. (haploid/diploid)
What is a haploid cell? OR What is a gamete?
The phase of mitosis/meiosis where the cells separate and/or split.
Telophase/Cytokinesis
True or False: This process begins with the DNA replicating.
True
In order for mutations to be passed onto offspring, they must take place in these cells.
What are gametes?
1 sugar, 1 base, and 1 phosphate are collectively referred to as this.
A nucleotide
True or False: This process begins with the DNA replicating.
True
The phase of mitosis or meiosis when all chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
In this process, the cell divides this many times.
ONCE
Another name for the disorder known as monosomy X.
What is turner's syndrome?
DNA replication takes place at this location in a cell.
The nucleus
In this process, the cell divides this many times.
TWICE
The phase in mitosis/meiosis during which chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase?
