---|---|---|---|---|
What is double helix: 2 strands of nucleotides
What phrase used to typically describe the structure of DNA?
|
What is identical to the parent
Relative to the parent, what is the genetic makeup of an offspring produced by asexual reproduction?
|
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
What are the four phases of mitosis
|
What is gametes
The main purpose of meiosis is to produce this.
|
What is uracil (instead of thymine)
What base is present in RNA that is not present in DNA?
|
What is nonsense
What is the name of a mutation that results in a premature stop codon?
|
What is mitosis
What form of cell division (mitosis or meiosis) is used for asexual reproduction
|
What is identical
What is the genetic makeup of a daughter cell to the parent cell after the parent cell undergoes mitosis?
|
What is haploid
This is the term used to describe a gamete that is "n" rather than "2n"
|
What is cancer
What is the term used to describe loss of control of the cell cycle, resulting in unregulated cell division?
|
What are three hydrogen bonds for cytosine-guanine and two hydrogen bonds for adenine-thymine
How many and what type of bonds hold DNA bases together?
|
What is genetic diversity
What is the main advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual?
|
What is 2
How many daughter cells does a single cell produce after it undergoes mitosis?
|
What is 4
How many daughter cells does a single cell produce after it undergoes meiosis?
|
What is S phase
During what phase of the cell cycle are the chromosomes replicated?
|
Watson and Crick, at Cold Spring Harbor labs
Which two famous scientists are credited for discovering the structure of DNA?
|
What is M phase
During what phase of the cell cycle does mitosis occur?
|
what is everywhere
Where in the body does mitosis occur relative to meiosis, which only occurs in the gametes?
|
What is prophase
During what phase of meiosis do nuclear envelopes dissolve and DNA condenses?
|
What is mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
What are the three main types of RNA, and what are their roles?
|
Transcription: DNA to RNA
Translation: RNA to proteins
What is the main difference between transcription and translation?
|
males are XY, females are XX
What is the difference between sex chromosomes in males and females?
|
What is prophase I
Female gametes are arrested after this point of meiosis, only undergoing full meiotic division during ovulation.
|
centromere
The name of the part of the chromosome that holds sister chromatids together during meiosis?
|
DNA methylation
What DNA modification causes gene inactivation?
