What are dna bases
AT
CG
RNA bases
AU CG
What is Dna and Rna made of
nucleotide, proteins, fats, complex carbs
how many hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine
2
how many hydrogen bonds between cytosine and guanine
3
what sides of dna alternate between waht two molecules
phosphate and deoxyribose
backbone of rna is made of what molecules
phosphate and ribosome sugar
what is a chromosome
coiled dna with proteins
how many chromosomes do humans have
46
what happens in g1 and checkpoint
the cell gathers materials, increases in size, and perspires to replicate DNA
what happens in g0
cell can exist if fails to meet requirements or not enough materials
what happens in S phase and checkpoint
DNA is replicated, ends with two sets of chromosomes - ensures there were no errrors in dna replication
what happens in g2 and checkpoint
cell continues to and prep for division materials organize themselves – chromosome set is complete the same procedures as checkpoint one
define interphase
Interface accounts for 80% of the cell cycle and is where the self duplicate DNA and prepared for division
what happens in prophase of mitosis
nuclear membrane begins to disappear -chromatin condenses into sister chromatids- centrioles move to either side of cell -spindle fibre start to form
what happens at metaphase
Sister chromatic lineup at the equator
what happens in anaphase
spindle fibres retract and break – sister chromatids apart into chromosomes that move to either side of cell
what happens in telophase(real)
nuclear envelope reforms around chromosomes (two nuclei each with chromosomes) –
chromosome stretch out to chromatin – cell begins to split in 2, cleavage furrow
what is haploid
half number of dna (23) N
diploid
full amount of dna 46 2n
where does meiosis occur
gonads, testicles, ovaries
what happens in prophase 1
The replicated chromosomes, condense, and form chromatid pairs - homologous chromosomes pair up and form a tetrad
what is synapsis
process of pairing up homologous chromosomes
crossing over
occurs between arms of chromosomes
exchanges genetic material between chromosomes inncreasing genetic variability
