Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids and the formation of two new nuclei?

Back

Telophase

Front

How is mRNA read during protein synthesis?

Back

Three bases at a time.

Front

What cycle does a virus undergo when it integrates its genetic material into the host's DNA and remains dormant?

Back

Lysogenic cycle.

Front

What structure do viruses utilize to protect their genetic material?

Back

Capsid.

Front

What is the process called when tRNA reads mRNA to synthesize proteins?

Back

Translation.

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What is the term for the process of copying DNA into mRNA?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

They facilitate the translation of mRNA into amino acids.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles of a virus?

Back

Lytic cycle leads to immediate cell death, while lysogenic cycle integrates into host DNA and can remain dormant.
