Question 1

What are the phases of Mitosis

Answer 1

Main phases summarised by PMAT. In order they are Interphase (I), Prophase (P), Metaphase (M), Anaphase (A), Telephase (T) and Cytokenisis (C),

Question 2

Base Pairs of DNA

Answer 2

DNA has the base pairs of Thymine (T) and Adenine (A) which pair together and Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G) which pair together

Question 3

What are the base
pairs in DNA?

Answer 3

Guanine - Cytosine
Thymine - Adenine

Question 4

Base pairs of RNA

Answer 4

RNA has the same base pairs of DNA except Thymine (T) is replaced by Uracil (U) which pairs with Adenine (A)

Question 5

Definition of Mitosis

Answer 5

The definition of Mitosis is when a cell splits creating an identical clone of the cell. Effectively cloning itself. Mitosis is used for cell regulation

Question 6
