Vocabulary Terminology for Chapter 10 in Friendly Biology
| Question or Term | Answer or Definition |
|---|---|
| For each daughter cell to have its own set of chromosomes, the chromosomes must | duplicate themselves |
| Chromosome duplication is possible due to the function of enzymes which are | to either lyse or "matchmake" the appropriate parts of the DNA |
| DNA is abbreviation for | Deoxyribonucleic acid |
| The carbohydrate component of DNA is | ribose sugar |
| The nucleotide portion consists of | ribose sugar, phosphate group, & a pair of bases |
| The pair of bases make up what portion of the DNA ladder | the rung |
| There are two groups of bases and they are | purines & pyrimidines |
| The purines are | adenine & guanine |
| The pyrimidines are | cytosine & thymine |
| the bonds between the bases are weak bonds known as | Hydrogen bonds |
| Adenine bonds only with | thymine (--Memory aid-- Always Time for Creative Games) |
| Cytosine bonds only with | guanine (--Memory aid-- Always Time for Creative Games) |
| Enzymes lyse or cut the hydrogen bonds exposing | the base pair |
| Matchmaking enzymes bring in | free floating nucleotides in the area joining them according to the matching rules |
| Eventually two new strands of DNa are formed and one strand is for each | daughter cell |
