Q.
A single piece of coiled DNA and associated proteins found in linear forms in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and circular forms in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells; contains genes that encode traits. Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes

Q.
A specialized cell (egg or sperm) used in sexual reproduction containing half the normal number of chromosomes in a somatic cell
6

Q.
A sequence of nucleotides composing a segment of DNA that provides a blueprint for a specific hereditary trait
7

Q.
The process in which a nucleotide sequence of a gene is used to make a functional product such as protein or RNA
8

Q.
The longest lasting phase in the cell cycle in which a cell performs the majority of its functions, such as preparing for nuclear division and cytokinesis
9

Q.
A two phase nuclear division that results in the eventual production of gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes
10

Q.
A nuclear division resulting in the production of two somatic cells having the same genetic complement as the original cell
11

Q.
The process in which sister chromatids fail to separate during and after mitosis or meiosis
12
30 sec
Q.
The process in which amino acids are arranged in a linear sequence through the processes of transcription of DNA or RNA and the translation of RNA to a polypeptide chain
13
30 sec
Q.
The process in which the DNA molecule uncoils and separates into two strands. Each original strand becomes a template on which a new strand is constructed, resulting in two DNA molecules identical to the original DNA molecule
14

Q.
The process in which a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized by using the genetic information found on a strand of DNA as a template
15
30 sec
Q.
The process in which the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule on a ribosome is decoded to produce a sequence of amino acids for protein synthesis
