DNA Flashcards
Double helix unwinds, helicase unzips dna by breaking hydrogen bonds, polymerase pairs each of two strands with the correct nitrogen base, lipase glues together different fragments of lagging strands. What’s this process?
DNA REPLICATION
Contains two complete sets of chromosomes
Diploid
Contains half the number of chromosomes
Haploid
When the chromosomes are so close that they exchange part of their chromosomes with each other…
Crossing over
Cell growth and reproduction. Cell divides in two and creates replica
Mitosis
Cellular Reproduction which chromosomes are are reduced by half through separation of chromosomes creating two haploid cells
Meiosis
Stages in Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase
Nuclear envelope dissolves, chromatin coils into visible chromosomes, and centrioles move toward poles
Prophase
Chromosomes meet in middle, spindle fibers attach to each chromatid at centromere
Metaphase
Centromeres split and sister chromatid are pulled apart to opposite ends of cells
Anaphase
Cytoplasm divides, nuclear envelope appears, and chromosomes uncoil.
Telephase
Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1, Telephase 1, Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telephase 2
Stages in Meiosis
Sex cells that come from undifferentiated testicular cells for sperm and undifferentiated ovarian cells for eggs.
Gamete
What size of the cell is more efficient?
Small
When is DNA in chromatin form?
S phase of Interphase
When does DNA organize itself into chromosome form?
It is in chromosome form when it moves into the daughter cells
