Cell Cycle Flashcard 3 (24-25)

Front

What is the process by which cells make new DNA molecules?

Back

DNA replication

Front

What are the two new DNA molecules like after DNA replication?

Back

Identical copies

Front

What type of cells are produced when cells divide through mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Genetically identical to the parent cell

Front

What is the complementary nucleotide sequence for the DNA strand TATACGTACGGA?

Back

ATATGCATGCCA

Front

Why do all body cells inherit identical DNA during cell division?

Back

All body cells inherit identical DNA during cell division.

Front

What is the role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between DNA replication and transcription?

Back

DNA replication copies the entire DNA molecule, while transcription synthesizes RNA from a DNA template.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA is replicated.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
