Front

What is the role of ribosomes in viral replication?

Back

Ribosomes are needed to synthesize viral proteins from the viral genetic material.

Front

What is the outcome of cytokinesis in the cell cycle?

Back

Cytokinesis results in two cells that have the same genetic information.

Front

What does gel electrophoresis measure?

Back

Gel electrophoresis measures the size of DNA samples by separating them based on their length.

Front

What is the probability of offspring having green leaves from a cross of two bb parent plants?

Back

0%.

Front

How do viruses depend on bacterial cells?

Back

Viruses depend on bacterial cells for ribosomes to synthesize their proteins.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall in bacterial cells?

Back

The cell wall protects the cell and provides structural support.

Front

Define cytokinesis.

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in organisms.

Front

Explain the difference between DNA and RNA.

Back

DNA stores genetic information, while RNA is involved in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the purpose of a DNA ladder in gel electrophoresis?

Back

A DNA ladder serves as a reference to determine the size of DNA fragments.
