(BIO 4-1) Cell cycle DNA and Cancer basics

DNA coils up into tight structures called __________.

DNA is replicated during this phase of the cell cycle

What is the correct term for the structure of DNA?

This term means "programmed cell death". Cancers occur when signals for this are blocked.

Small sequences of DNA that code for specific traits are called ___________

Uncontrolled cell growth can lead to this disease

Cells that make up organs in the body are called somatic cells

The base pair rule tells us T pairs with A & C pairs with U

According to Cell Theory, Cells can only come from other, pre-existing cells

A Nucelotide is made up of 3 parts: Sugar, Phosphate, Nitrogenous Base

These are the 4 bases found in DNA

DNA is made of smaller pieces(monomers) called ______________.

The base pairs hold the genetic information in the DNA molecule.

Cells spend about 90% of their time in this phase of the cell cycle

In G1 phase, a cell must reach sufficient size and produce enough __________ to replicate its DNA in S phase
