DNA
Haploid
having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Phases of Mitosis
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Anaphase (Mitosis)
sister chromatids separate into two different chromosomes
Diploid
(genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number
WHat are the three parts of a nucleotide
sugar, phosphate, base
What is the function of the tRNA?
the link between mRNA and the amino acid chain
DNA transcription
the proccess of copying a section of dna in order to make proteins
DNA replication
the process of making a copy of DNA
In DNA, what pairs with guanine?
Cytosine
How do mitosis and cytokinesis differ?
Mitosis divides the DNA while cytokinesis divides the rest of the cell contents.
irreducible complexity
The idea that parts of organisms are so complex and dependent on one another that they cannot be reduced to something less complex and still function, providing evidence for Creation.
What happens during transcription?
The information in a DNA molecule is copied to produce an mRNA molecule.
What is a gene?
The molecule that contains important information for making proteins and helps regulate many cellular processes
What determines the order of amino acids in a protein?
The order of the bases
Mitosis
The process where a single cell divides resulting in generally two identical DNA molecules
in RNA, what base bonds with adenine?
Uracil
Meiosis
a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
A condon codes for?
an amino acid
Describe the shape of a DNA molecule
double helix (twisted ladder)
