What is the term process of chromosomal DNA being duplicated?
Chromosomes duplicate in a process called mitosis.
How many cells does meiosios produce and are they genetically identical?
Meiosis will produce a total of 4 cells and no, they are genetically unique. In meiosis, a critical step called "crossing over" (or chromosomal crossover) takes place which exchanges genetic material of paired chromosomes. This increases genetics diversity. Also, at the end of meiosis, each daughter cell at the end will have HALF of the original number of chromosomes as the parent cell. That is why in humans, cells have 46 chromosomes but sperm and ovum cell only have 23.
DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?
nucleotides- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine
Is Turner syndrome a chromosomal error?
Yes, it is a chromosomal error which occured most likely during meiosis. It is an error in cell division called NONDISJUNCTION. The single X chromsome is maternal, which suggests that the meiotic error tends to be paternal (3/4 of cases) -Krista D. RN
Process of cell division which results in the production of sex cells?
It is a nucleic acid and is made from building blocks called nucleotides. The process then repeats in what is called the cell cycle. Cell division (NIH image) Mitosis is how somatic--or non-reproductive cells--divide. Somatic cells.
What is the monomer for the DNA polymer called?
nucleotides
Nucleic acid are composed of units called?
nucleotides.
What are the divisions of meiosis called?
Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2
What is a group of three nucleotides called?
This arrangement is called a codon.In DNA and RNA a group of three nucleotides in a row is called a codon. In tRNA a group of three nucleotides is called an anticodon.
Molecules consisting of subunits called nucleotides are called?
[Macromolecular] Chains of ribose based nucleotides are Rna while Chains of 2'-Deoxy Ribose based nucleotides are called Dna.
What is a group of nucleotides called?
codon
What is a string of nucleotides called?
A gene
