Chapter 3 Part D

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Interphase   Majority of time cell is in this. Cell grows and carries on its usual activities. Includes DNA replication.  
🗑
Cell Division (mitotic Phase)   Cell divides into 2 (cell makes an exact copy in body)  
🗑
Subphases   G1, S and G2. G1 growth, S DNA replication, G2 rep for division.  
🗑
DNA Replication   Prior to division the cell makes a copy of DNA. Double stranded DNA helices unwind and unzip.  
🗑
DNA Polymerase   Attaches to primer and begins adding nucleotides to form new strands.  
🗑
Semiconservative Replication   Each new double stranded DNA is composed of one old strand and one new strand.  
🗑
M (Mitotic) Phase   Cell cycle is phase in which division occurs, Consist of 2 distinct events Mitosis and Cytokinesis.  
🗑
M Phase   is the division of nucleus, in which the duplicated DNA is distributed to new daughter cells.  
🗑
Early Prophase   Chromatin condenses, forming visible chromosomes.  
🗑
Centrosome   its duplicated begin synthesizing microtubules that push each centrosome to opposite poles of cell.  
🗑
Late Prophase   Nuclear envelope breaks up.  
🗑
Metaphase   Centromeres of chromosomes are precisely aligned at cells equator.  
🗑
Metaphase Plate   The imaginary plane midway between poles  
🗑
Anaphase   Shortest of all phases. Chromosomes are pulled toward their respective poles by motor proteins of kinetochores.  
🗑
Telophase   Begins when chromosome movement stops. Each set uncoils to form chromatin. Nucleoli reappear and Spindle disappears.  
🗑
Cytokinesis   Begins late anaphase and continues through mitosis. 2 daughter cells pinch apart.  
🗑
Protein Synthesis   DNA is master blueprint that holds the code for protein synthesis.  
🗑
Gene   A segment of DNA that holds the code for onw polypeptide.  
🗑
RNA   is the go between molecule that links DNA to proteins. formed in nucleus. Uracil is in place of Thymine.  
🗑
Messenger RNA   Process is referred to as transcription.  
🗑
Ribosomal RNA   Structural component of ribosomes, the organelle where protein synthesis occurs.  
🗑
Transfer RNA   Crrier of amino acids. Have a triplet code called anticodon.  
🗑
Transcription   DNA information coded in mRNA  
🗑
Initiation   RNA polymerase seperates DNA strands  
🗑
Elongation   RNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to growing mRNA matching sequence of based on DNA template strand.  
🗑
Termination   Transcription stops when RNA polymerase reaches special termination signal code.  
🗑
Translation   Each 3 based sequence on DNA is represented by a complamentary 3 based sequence on mRNA called codon.  
🗑
Processing of mRNA   Introns are removed by special proteins called spliceosomes, leaving only exon coding regions.  
🗑
Role of tRNA   binds a specific amino acid at one end, once amino acid is located onto tRNA, Molecule is now called an aminoacyl tRNA.  
🗑
Anticodon   at other end is triplet code that determines which amino acid will be bound at stem.  
🗑
DNA to Proteins   Complementary base paring directs transfer of genetic information in DNA into amino acid sequence of protein.  
🗑
Autophagy   (self eating) is the process of disposing of nonfunctional organelles.  
🗑
Apoptosis   also known as programmed cell death causes certain cells. to neatly self destruct.  
🗑
Hyperplasia   increases number of cell numbers  
🗑
Atrophy   is decrease in size that results from loss of stimulation or use  
🗑
Hypertrophy   is a increases in size.  
🗑
Telomeres   Are strings of nucleotides that protect ends of chromosomes. Like caps on shoestrings.  
🗑


   

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.
