| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In a double helix model of DNA, How many bases are there? | It consists of Four bases, Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine. |
| In a double helix model of DNA, What bases pair with each other? | Adenine to Thymine, Cytosine to Guanine. |
| What are the three things the DNA model consists of? | A phosphate group, Nitrogenous base, 5-Carbon sugar. |
| What are the five phases of Mitosis in order? | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase. |
| What happens during the Prophase stage of Mitosis? | Chromosomes double. |
| What happens during the Metaphase stage of Mitosis? | Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. |
| What happens during the Anaphase stage of Mitosis? | Chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell. |
| What happens during the Telophase stage of Mitosis? | Nucleus is doubled. |
| What is Mitosis? | Process in which cells divide to produce more cells. |
| What is Meiosis? | Process in which cell division halves the number of chromosomes to form reproductive cells or gametes. |
| What is a Gamete? | The sex cells of human beings.(Egg&Sprem) |
| What is DNA? | DeoxyriboNucleic acid. A double stranded helical nucleic acid that stores hereditary information. |
| What is RNA? | Ribonucleic Acid. A single strand of Nucleotides that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. |
| What are the Nitrogenous bases for RNA? What bases pair together? | Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine. Adenine to Uracil, Guanine to Cytosine |
| What is a Mutation? | Changes in DNA that happen randomly or may be inherited by offspring. |
| What is DNA replication? | When DNA breaks the weak bonds and separates into two strands. New complimentary or partner-nucleotides are added to each strand. Two identical double strands of DNA are formed. |
| What are genes? | Specific sequence of nucleotides, on a chain of DNA, located within a chromosome, inside the nucleus of all living cells. |
| What are Nucleotides? | Building blocks of DNA. A,T,G,C(Nucleotides) |
| What happens during Interphase? | Preparation for cell division. |
| What happens during Cytokinesis? | Process which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. |
