DNA and Cell Cycle

Front

Where does DNA replication take place in a Eukaryotic Cell?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What is the correct sequence of the cell cycle?

Back

G1 -> S -> G2 -> mitosis -> cytokinesis

Front

During which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids separate away from each other?

Back

Anaphase

Front

How many Hydrogen bonds hold together Guanine and Cytosine?

Back

3

Front

Who discovered that the number of Adenine always equals the number of Thymine and the number of Guanine always equals the number of Cytosine?

Back

Erwin Chargaff

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

To store and transmit genetic information.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitotic phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis).

Front

What is the role of the ribosome in a cell?

Back

To synthesize proteins by translating mRNA.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine; RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.
