Question
Answer
Gene   a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is a chemical set of instructions for making a specific protein  
🗑
Translation   MRNA changing one thing to another because of a signal  
🗑
Messenger RNA   Travels from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where the information in the copy is used to construct a protein by means of translation  
🗑
Transfer RNA   RNA that attaches to individual amino acids and transports them to the ribosomes where they are connected to form a protein polypeptide chain  
🗑
Transcription   Copies the proteins  
🗑
Ribosomal RNA   RNA that is associated with certain proteins to form ribosomes  
🗑
Condons   sequence of 3 nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid in a protein  
🗑
Cell division   process in making new cells for the body mitosis and meiosis formation of 2 daughter cells from a single parent cell  
🗑
Diploid number   the 46 chromosomes in the human body  
🗑
Autosomes   the remaining 22 chromosomes  
🗑
Mitosis   all cells of the body except those that give rise to sex cells, 2 step process, replicated and divided  
🗑
Replication   the duplication of cells in mitosis  
🗑
Interphase   the period between active cell divisions during which DNA is replicated  
🗑
Chromatin   thin strands of DNA throughout the nucleus  
🗑
What are the stages in mitosis   prophase metaphase, anaphase telophase  
🗑
prophase   first stage in mitosis spindle fibers extend from the centrioles to the centromeres  
🗑
Metaphase   second stage in mitosis the chromosomes align near the center of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase   the 3rd step of mitosis, centromeres separate, sets of chromosomes moved to the centriole at the poles of the cell  
🗑
Telophase   the last stage in mitosis, the chromosomes in the daughter cells organize to form 2 seperate nuclei.  
🗑
Meiosis   sex cells are formed. cells go through 2 divisions resulting in 4 nuclei  
🗑
What are the stages in Meiosis   early prophase 1 middle prophase 1 metaphase 1 anaphase 1 telephase 1  
🗑
Haploid   half the number of chromosomes found in other body cells  
🗑


   

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.
