Cell division & Dna
Learning about cell division and info about Dna
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is a chromosome highly coiled? | Yes |
| Are Genes larger than chromosomes? | No |
| Do genes determine what characteristics offspring inherit? | Yes |
| Does a human body cell have 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 total? | Yes |
| Does Dna direct the production of proteins in a cell? | Yes |
| Do chromosomes only occure in egg and sperm cells? | No |
| Are chromosomes located within the cytoplasm of a cell? | No |
| Do egg and sperm cell have half the chromosomes as other human cells do? | Yes |
| Do the letters DNA stand for diniate? | No. It stand for Dioxyribonucleic Acid. |
| Do DNA molecules have a structure that allows it to duplicate easily? | Yes |
| Is the shape of a DNA molecule called a double helix. | Yes |
| Do human beings have 100 genes? | No |
| What are the correct order in which the parts of the cell cycle occur? | Interphase, Phrospase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and cytokinesis. |
| What part of the cell cycle is the longest? | Interphase |
| What happens during the part of the cell cycle that is called mitosis? | Mitosis begins at Phrosphase and ends at Telophase. It does undergo DNA replication during interphase. It is when they seperate and move to other side. When the chromosomes seperate. |
| What happens during the part of the cell cycle that is called cytokinesis? | The cytoplasm divides and 2 new daughter cell are formed. |
| How many homologous chromosomes does a human have? | 46 |
| How many homologous pairs does a human have? | 23 |
| How much of the cell's lifespan does Interphase occure? | 90% |
| What is the passing of traits from parents to offspring? | heredity |
| what is the life cycle of a cell? | cell cycle |
| What is the chemical substance that controls the structure and function of cells? | DNA |
| What is the cell structurek that stores the hereditary information for the same traits? | Homologous chromosomes |
| What is the process of cell division that forms 2 nuclei that contain identical DNA? | Mitosis |
| What is a cell produced by the division of a parent cell | Daughter cell |
| the process of cell division that forms sex cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as found in the parent cell | Meiosis |
| The divison of the cytoplasm of a cell is called what? | Cytokineisis |
| Before cells divide, the nucleus has to reproduces. This process is called what? | Mitosis |
| DNA replication takes place during the first stage of nuclear reproduction called what? | Interphase |
| Sex cells have only _ the number of chromosomes of body cells? How many? | 1/2 |
| Fibers called what form around the centrioles of animal cells during the reproduction of the nucleus? | Spindle Fires |
| DNA is often described as this? What is it? | A double helix and a twisted zipper |
| DNA is made up of 3 substances, all connected together in a definite pattern? What are they? | Phosphates, Deoxyribose(sugar), and the 4 bases. |
| What are the 4 nitogen bases called? | Adenines(A), Cytosine(C), guanine(G), and thymine(T). |
| What does Guanine(G0 pair up with? |
