Mitosis, Meiosis, RNA, and DNA Flashcard

Front

What process produces enzymes in cells?

Back

Protein synthesis.

Front

What is the reproductive process in humans represented by n + n → 2n?

Back

It represents fertilization where two gametes (n) combine to form a diploid zygote (2n).

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for ATAGCGATA?

Back

TATCGCTAT.

Front

What are the hereditary factors proposed by Mendel composed of?

Back

DNA.

Front

What are the repeating units that make up DNA?

Back

Nucleotides.

Front

What is the role of DNA in living organisms?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What is the function of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA acts as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.
