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)
