Front

What is the end result of mitosis?

Back

2 genetically identical diploid cells.

Front

How is a signal transduced to its target location in the cell?

Back

Enzymes are passing phosphate groups down a series of proteins.

Front

What are the junctions in plant cell walls that allow for the exchange of small soluble compounds?

Back

Plasmodesmata.

Front

In which phase does the cell spend most of its life?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What phase occurs after metaphase in mitosis?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its life, preparing for division.

Front

What are the stages of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What is the role of cAMP in signal transduction?

Back

cAMP acts as a secondary messenger that activates a desired response in the cell.

Front

What are gap junctions?

Back

Gap junctions are specialized intercellular connections that allow for direct communication between neighboring cells.
