WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE USED TO DETERMINE A PERSON’S DNA SEQUENCE?
GENES
MITOSIS
CELL DIVISION IN EUKARYOTES THAT PRODUCES TWO GENETICALLY IDENTICAL DAUGHTER CELLS. EACH WITH THE SAME CHROMOSOME NUMBER AS THE PARENT CELL, CELLS DUPLICATE FOR TISSUE GROWTH AND REPAIR, MAKES SKIN CELLS AND STOMACH CELLS
MEIOSIS
SPECIALIZED CELL DIVISION USED TO CREATE HAPLOID GAMETES IN DIPLOID ORGANISMS
MACROMOLECULES
LARGE CHEMICALS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO LIVING THINGS AND INCLUDE CARBOHYDRATES, LIPIDS, PROTEINS, AND NUCLEIC ACIDS
PROCESS OF MITOSIS
1)INTERPHASE: DNA REPLICATES
2)PROPHASE: CHROMOSOMES CONDENSE AND VISIBLE CHROMOSOMES APPEAR
3)METAPHASE: CHROMOSOMES LINE UP
4)ANAPHASE: CHROMOSOMES ARE PULLED APART TO THE POLES. CELL DIVISION BEGINS
5)TELOPHASE: TWO NUCLEI FORM. DAUGHTER CELLS SEPARATE IN CYTOKINESIS
MEIOSIS
PROCESS THAT CONTRIBUTES TO GENETIC VARIETY. PROCESS THAT MAKES SPERM AND EGG CELLS AKA GAMETES. IT DOES NOT MAKE BODY CELLS. IT DOES NOT MAKE IDENTICAL CELLS
HOW MANY CHROMOSOMES DO YOU END UP WITH IN MEIOSIS
23.
YOU START WITH 46 CHROMOSOMES AND END WITH 23 THIS IS REDUCTION DIVISION WHICH MEANS YOU DIVIDE TWICE. IN MEIOSIS AFTER INTERPHASE PMAT IS DONE TWICE
RIBOSOMES
SYNTHESIZE PROTEINS IN A CELL
MITOCHONDRIA
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENERGY PRODUCTION
CYTOSKELETON
GIVES FORM TO A CELL
CELL MEMBRANE
MAINTAINS WHAT ENTERS AND LEAVES A CELL, SURROUNDS AND PROTECTS IT
NUCLEUS
RESPONSIBLE FOR HOUSING DNA, WHICH STORES GENETIC INFORMATION
LYSOSOMES
INVOLVED IN THE DIGESTION AND RECYCLING OF MOLECULES
DNA
THE MATERIAL THAT CONTAINS GENETIC INFORMATION AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECTING PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IN LIVING ORGANISMS, IT IS A MACROMOLECULE, THE STRUCTURE OF DNA IS A TWISTED LADDER OR DOUBLE HELIX MADE OF PHOSPHATE AND DEOXYRIBOSE SUGAR MOLECULES. THE RUNGS ARE MADE OF 4 NUCLEOTIDE BASES.
NUCLEOTIDES
MONOMERS USED TO BUILD DNA AND RNA. THERE ARE 4 NUCLEOTIDE BASES THAT MAKE UP THE RUNGS OF DNA.

WHAT ARE THE TWO STRANDS OF DNA
THE TWO STRANDS OF DNA RUN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. INFORMATION IS CODED IN DNA IN THE 3 TO 5 DIRECTION , THIS STRAND IS CALLED THE SENSE STRAND. THE OTHER STRAND GOING IN THE 3 TO 5 DIRECTION IS CALLED THE ANTI SENSE STRAND. THE ANTI SENSE STRAND IS USED AS THE TEMPLATE IN DNA REPLICATION AND TRANSCRIPTION
