- Q1A variation of a gene's nucleotide sequence (an alternative form of a gene)Allele30s
- Q2The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. The main phases of the cell cycle are interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesisCell Cycle30s
- Q3A 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 chromosomesChromosomes30s
- Q4The final phase of the cell cycle resulting in the split of the cytoplasmCytokinesis30s
- Q5The process in which DNA makes a duplicate copy of itselfDNA Replication30s
- Q6A specialized cell (egg or sperm) used in sexual reproduction containing half the normal number of chromosomes in a somatic cellGamete30s
- Q7A sequence of nucleotides composing a segment of DNA that provides a blueprint for a specific hereditary traitGene30s
- Q8The process in which a nucleotide sequence of a gene is used to make a functional product such as protein or RNAGene Expression30s
- Q9The longest lasting phase in the cell cycle in which a cell performs the majority of its functions, such as preparing for nuclear division and cytokinesisInterphase30s
- Q10A two phase nuclear division that results in the eventual production of gametes with half the normal number of chromosomesMeiosis30s
- Q11A nuclear division resulting in the production of two somatic cells having the same genetic complement as the original cellMitosis30s
- Q12The process in which sister chromatids fail to separate during and after mitosis or meiosisNondisjunction30s
- Q13The 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 chainProtein Synthesis30s
- Q14The 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 moleculeSemiconservative Replication30s
- Q15The process in which a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized by using the genetic information found on a strand of DNA as a templateTranscription30s
