  PROPHASE – NUCLEAR ENVELOPE DISAPPEARS, CHROMOSOMES

COIL AND BECOME VISIBLE, SPINDLE FIBER FORMS AND CENTRIOLES (ANIMAL CELLS ONLY) MOVE TO OPPOSITE

POLES

METAPHASE – CHROMOSOMES LINE UP AT THE EQUATOR

ANAPHASE – SISTERCHROMATIDS ARE PULLED APART BY SPINDLE FIBERS TO OPPOSITE POLES OF THE CELL.

TELOPHASE – NUCLEAR ENVELOPE REAPPERS, IN ANIMAL CELLS CYTOKINESIS DIVIDES CYTOPLASM AND IN PLANT CELLS A

CELL PLATE FORMS, BECOMING A NEW CELL WALL.

20 

 20. What is a mutation? 

 ANY SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE DNA SEQUENCE 21. Describe the structure of RNA.

RIBOSE SUGAR, PHOSPATE BACKBONE, ONE OF 4 NITROGEN BASES AND IS SINGLE STRANDED

22. What are the three types of RNA and what are their functions? Be able to identify each type of RNA.

mRNA - CARRIES THE MESSAGE FROM DNA FOR THE MAKING OF PROTEINS – MADE BY TRANSCRIPTION

tRNA – TRANSFER THE CORRECT AMINO ACID TO THE CODON ON THE mRNA DURING PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

rRNA – MAKES UP THE RIBOSOMES AND HOLDS THE mRNA IN PLACE DURING PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
