What is the complementary DNA sequence for the strand ATG TGA CAG?

Back

TAC ACT GTC

Front

Where do eukaryotic cells store their genetic information?

Back

In chromosomes.

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Two DNA molecules, each with one new strand and one original strand.

Front

What is the shape of DNA?

Back

Double helix.

Front

What phase of the cell cycle is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the function of DNA polymerase?

Back

To synthesize new DNA strands during replication.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides.

Front

What is the role of the centromere in chromosomes?

Back

To hold sister chromatids together.

Front

What occurs during prophase of mitosis?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the phase where DNA replication occurs.
