Front

What is the correct order of DNA replication?

Back

3, 4, 1, 2

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a nitrogen base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.

Front

What process is occurring during DNA replication?

Back

DNA Replication is the process of copying the DNA in a cell.

Front

What is the purpose of cell cycle checkpoints?

Back

To repair damaged cells before they enter cell division.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA.

Front

What is the role of nitrogen bases in DNA?

Back

Nitrogen bases pair together to form the rungs of the DNA ladder, encoding genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs during the S phase.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
