G1→Synthesis→G2
Term
4 parts of mitosis?
Definition
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Term

what stage of mitosis is this?

-nuclear membrane dissolves and chromosomes are easily seen under a microscope

Definition
Prophase
Term

what stage of mitosis is this?

-spindle fibers pull chromosomes to MIDDLE of cell

Definition
Metaphase
Term

what stage of mitosis is this?

-spindle fibers PULL APART chromosomes

Definition
Anaphase
Term

what stage of mitosis is this?

-nuclear membrane reappears

Definition
Telophase
Term

occurs after mitosis

-cytoplasm and organelles divide (PLANT CELLS, cell plate forms new CELL WALL)

Definition
Cytokenesis
Term
Meiosis occurs ONLY in _______.
Definition
gametes
Term

what are gametes? 

-female?

-male?

Definition

sex cells

-(f) eggs

-(m) sperm

Term
what is the result of meiosis?
Definition
FOUR haploid gametes
Term
DNA codes for ________.
Definition
proteins
Term
DNA → RNA is what?
Definition
transcription
Term

mRNA enters nucleus and reads the DNA with help of enzyme to put the DNA code into the RNA language. then mRNA leaves nucleus via nuclear pores and enters cytoplasm.

is this transcription or translation?

Definition
transcription
Term
RNA→PROTEIN
Definition
translation
Term

mRNA binds to a ribosome in the cytoplasm and deliers the DNA code in RNA language. tRNA goes out to find amino acids in the cytoplasm that match the given code. rRNA binds the amino acids together to make a protein.

is this transcription or translation?

Definition
translation
Term
RNA is made of _____, _________, and ________ ____.

ATP
Term
what is the movement of gas/liquid particles from HIGH to LOW concentration?
Definition
diffusion
Term
H2O ONLY moves from HIGH to LOW concentration
Definition
osmosis
Term
ions, or charged particles, move across cell membrane.
