Question
Answer
what is Mitosis   the process in which the necleus divides into 2 indentical nuclei and it includes interphase metaphase ananphase and telophase  
🗑
what is a chromosome   a structure in a cells nucles that contains heredity material  
🗑
what is asexual reproduction   a type of reporduction that a new organism is made by just one parent organism types or asexual reproduction are budding fission and regeneration  
🗑
what are the stages of the cell cycle   interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase  
🗑
true or false the speed of the cell cycle is different for every type of cell   true  
🗑
true or false chromatin is a long thing strand that looks like spaghetti   true  
🗑
what is a chromosome   DNA that is coiled up into shortened sections and appears thicker  
🗑
what is a chromatid   one strand of the duplicated chromosome  
🗑
what and where is the centromere   the centormere is the "button" that holds the chromosome together and it is usually located in the middle of the two chormatids  
🗑
what are the centrioles   an organe that produces spindle fibers which pulls the chromatids apart  
🗑
what happens in interphase   the cell grows and developes, the cell does its job and the DNA copies itself  
🗑
what happens in prophase   the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear, centrioles move to oppsite sides of the cell, spindle fibers start to grow and chromatids pair up  
🗑
what happens in metaphase   chromatids line up in middle of cell, spindle fibers attach to cemtromeres  
🗑
what happens in anaphases   spindle fibers start to shorten  
🗑
what happens in telophase   spindle fibers disappear, nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear, cell membrane pinches in, chromosomes unravel  
🗑
what is fission   the reproduction or bacteria  
🗑
what is budding   an identical organism grows off the parent {ex hydra}  
🗑
what is regeneration   an indentical organism grows from a piece of the parent  
🗑
what is DNA   deoxyribonucleic acid, the gnetic material of all organisms made up of 2 twisted strands of super, phosphate, molecules and nitrogen bases  
🗑
what is a gene   section of DNA on a chromosome that contains instuctions for making specific proteins  
🗑
what is RNA   ribonuleic acid, a type or nuleic acid that carries codes for making proteins from the nucleus to the ribosomes  
🗑
what is a mutation   any permanent change in a gene or chromosome can be benefical harmful or have little effect on the organism  
🗑
true or false DNA is a blueprint for all living things   true  
🗑
True or false DNA is a very small molecule   false  
🗑
what does mRNA stand for   messanger RNA  
🗑
what are the similarities of DNA and RNA   phosphates, adenine, guanine, cytosine  
🗑
what are the differences in DNA and RNA   DNA has 2 strands RNA has 1 and DNA has thymine but RNA has uracil  
🗑
how does DNA replicate   a gene untwists a little, unzips a little, nucleolicles fill in  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
