Test for Module 6 Flashcards
cells containing two sets of chromosomes
diploid cells
haploid number
equal to the number of pairs
In mitosis, one cell becomes ___ that are identical to the original
two
The sequence of nucleotides in mRNA is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in
DNA
What molecule brings the amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
tRNA
What is a diploid number? How do you calculate it?
the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell; multiply the number of pairs by 2
___ starts with haploid cells and pulls apart the sister chromatids
Meiosis II
the process of making a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA
transcription
a figure showing metaphase chromosomes arranged by homologous pairs
karyotype
the process of using RNA to make proteins
translation
What is the difference between DNA replication and transcription?
replication is when genetic information is duplicated in the nucleus of the cell in preparation for cell division; transcription is when portions of DNA molecules are copied by mRNA nucleotides so the genetic information can be transported out of the nucleus to the ribosome so proteins can be made
___ starts with diploid cells and ends with diploid cells.
Mitosis
What would the complementary mRNA sequence be for the base sequence on the DNA template shown here?
C - C - T - A - G - T - A - T - G
G - G - A - U - C - A - U - A - C
the RNA that carries the information for protein synthesis
mRNA
List the stages of mitosis in order
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
