| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DNA: T- G- | DNA: A-T C-G |
| RNA: A- C- | RNA: A-T C-G |
| What structure contains the instructions for making a specific protein? | gene |
| What makes up the ladder of a DNA molecule? | phosphate |
| Messenger RNA | match with 3 nitrogen bases on the tRNA |
| ribosomal RNA | make up ribosomes |
| transfer RNA | bring amino acids to ribosomes |
| How many cells are formed at the end of mitosis I? | 2 |
| Meiosis I is the same as...? | Mitosis |
| Meiosis I begins with 1 cell. How many cells are formed by the end of Meiosis II? | 4 |
| a cell w/ pairs of chromosomes...? | diploid |
| cell w/ a single set of chromosomes...? | haploid |
| centromeres divide in...? | anaphase II |
| How are sex cells different from other cells? | Sex cells have half the chromosomes |

| mitosis is a form of...? | asexual reproduction |
| skin cells always... | need to be replaced (undergo mitosis) |
| 3 types of asexual reproduction... | -budding -regeneration -fission |
| Cell Division | # of cells and caused many celled organisms to grow |
| interphase | most of the life of any eukaryotic cell is spent in this period of growth |
| mitosis | nucleus divides to form 2 identical nuclei |
| chromosomes | structive nucleous that has hereditary material |
| metaphase | chromosomes line up in the center |
| anaphase | centromeres divide |

| sexual reproduction | egg and sperm come together |
| sperm | formed in the male reproductive system |
| egg | formed in the female reproductive system |
| fertilization | joining of the egg and sperm |
| zygote | cell that forms from fertilization |
| diploid | ccell that have similiar chromosomes |
| haploid | single |
| meioisis | produces haploid sex cells |
| DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid |
| mutations | any permament change in the dna sequence of a gene or chromosomes of a cell |
