Honors Biology: Unit 10 - Cell Cycle Learning Targets

daughter cells

The ________ produced can then begin G1.

Cell division

________ is important to living organisms.

Hydrogen bonds

________ hold nucleotide chains together.

cell cycle

The ________ is controlled by cyclins and kinases.

DNA

________ is similar between prokaryotes and eukaryotes because it is both double stranded, has a double helix, consists of purine (A and G) and pyrimidine (T and C) nitrogen bases, follow Chargaffs rule, the strands are antiparallel for both, and more.

Cyclins

________ bind to kinases, which give the "go ahead "signal at checkpoints of the cell cycle.

M checkpoint

The ________ is at the end of metaphase, and triggers exit from mitosis and cytokinesis.

structure of DNA

The ________ consists of its monomers, known as nucleotides.

Kinases

What are the ones to give the "go ahead "signal at checkpoints? Answer with a single words or term.

cyclin

Each ________ activates different kinases, which activate some enzymes directly and signal the cell synthesize other proteins needed to progress to the next phase of the cell cycle.

cell cycle

The ________ is regulated by cyclins, which are proteins regulating movement through the ________, and kinases, which they bind to.

DNA

________ is a "double helix "shape, with two nucleotide chains forming a twisted ladder.

cell division

Explain why ________ is important to living organisms.

Cell division

________ requires accurate replication and equal division of genetic information encoded in the cells DNA.
