What is meiosis and what happens if it does not happen during sex-cell development in
plants? - answerProcess where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells
containing half the original amount of genetic information (sex cells). They go through
mitosis.

Whats difference between diploid/haploid/zygote? - answerHaploid: One set of
chromosomes; gametes
Diploid: Two sets of chromosomes; somatic cells
Zygote: 2 haploid gametes fuse during fertilization to form a diploid cell (zygote)
After a mitotic division, how many chromosomes do daughter cells have compared with
the parent cell? - answerSame as parent; 46
,Alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a
chromosome. - answerAlleles
Are humans diploid or haploid? - answerDiploid
Genes encode for proteins. During translation, MRna encodes a blueprint to make the
proteins. In transcription, DNA makes complimentary RNA. - answerTranslation and
Transcription
The replication of DNA, in which each original strand of DNA serves as a template for a
new strand, is called: - answerSemiconservative replication
What is polymerase chain reaction? - answerA technique used in molecular biology to
amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of
magnitude
Enzymes involved with in vivo DNA replication, and which are also used as tools in
biotechnology include: - answerPolymerase and Ligase

order to "amplify" a sample of DNA? - answerDNA Polymerase
If you think of recombinant DNA technology as cutting and pasting pieces of DNA,
which molecule represents the glue? - answerLigase
Bacteria cell DNA is divided into operons. Describe an operon using the terms
promoter, operator, and structural gene. - answerAn operon consists of a group of
structural genes that code for enzymes involved in a metabolic pathway. They are under
control of a promoter (a short segment of DNA to which the RNA polymerase binds to
initiate transcription) and regulated by an operator.
Complimentary base pairing holding two DNA strands together is due to: -
