6 DNA structure/replication and Mitosis + 7 Meiosis & Mendelian Genetics

1. During what stage in a cell cycle does DNA replicate?

2.When looking for cancerous cells, what are "mitotic figures"?

3. Where do the 2 members of an "homologous pair" of chromosomes come from?

4. What are the characteristics of prophase?

5. What are the names of the 4 bases that form the "sequence" of DNA?

6.What are the characteristics of telophase?

7. What are the characteristics of metaphase? of anaphase?

8. What would the complementary DNA sequence be for this DNA single strand: CATATACGCATATAC ?

9. What are the names of the 3 phases of interphase and what is happening?

10. Be able to recognize cells in the process of mitosis. You can best study this by once again doing the questions on the mitosis web site from lab, found here:

11. Which patient suspected to have cancer will have the best prognosis? One with few mitotic figures, one with more mitotic figures, or one with a great many mitotic figures?

12. What symbols do you put into Punnet squares and what do they represent?

13. For the upcoming lab (7) what is a "karyotype"?

14. What are alleles? What is dominant and recessive?
