Protein synthesis:

In the DNA molecule, a sequence of three base pairs from a(n):

Transcription can best be described as the

Which of the following statements is true?

A DNA molecule is characterized by all of the following except:

Which of the following is not a characteristic of RNA?

Nucleic acids are synthesized directly on the DNA molecule with the help of

[blank_start]Transcription[blank_end]: Process that occurs when the double strands of a DNA segment separate and RNA nucleotides pair with DNA nucleotides [blank_start]mRNA[blank_end]: The type of RNA that carries information in groups of three nucleotides called codons, each of which codes for a specific amino acid [blank_start]tRNA[blank_end]: The type of RNA that has an anticodon and binds to a base pair specific amino acid [blank_start]Translation[blank_end]: The process involving the movement of mRNA with respect to the ribosome [blank_start]Complementary base pair[blank_end]: Uracil-adenine [blank_start]Ribosome[blank_end]: The site of translation

The total of 46 chromosomes per cell is referred to as

A type of cell division that occurs only in primitive sex cells during the process of becoming mature sex cells is

Splitting of the plasma membrane and cytoplasm into two during cell reproduction is called

Cell reproduction is sometimes referred to as the

The phase of mitosis known as the completion phase is [blank_start]telophase[blank_end].

The phase of mitosis known as the apart phase is [blank_start]anaphase[blank_end].

The position-changing phase of mitosis is [blank_start]metaphase[blank_end].

When a cell is not experiencing mitosis and is "between phases", it is said to be in [blank_start]interphase[blank_end].

When a cell begins to divide, it is said to be in the before phase, or [blank_start]prophase[blank_end].

The genetic code for a particular protein is passed from DNA to mRNA by a process known as:

If a strand of DNA has a base sequence of AGGC, the complimentary pair for that strand will be

The spindle fibers attach to each chromatid during which stage of mitosis?

During which stage of mitosis does the cleavage furrow begin to develop?

The synthesis of proteins by ribosomes using information coded in the mRNA molecule is called:

Translation can be inhibited or prevented by a process called

The DNA molecular structure allows only two combinations of bases to occur. This is known as [blank_start]complementary[blank_end] [blank_start]base[blank_end] [blank_start]parining[blank_end].

The complete set of proteins synthesized by a cell is called the [blank_start]proteome[blank_end] of the cell.

The shape of a DNA molecule is referred to as a [blank_start]double[blank_end] [blank_start]helix[blank_end].

[blank_start]Meiosis[blank_end] is the type of cell division that occurs only in primitive sex cells during the process of becoming mature sex cells.

Mature sex cells are called [blank_start]gametes[blank_end].
