Where does it happen?
Misc.
100

We used this term to describe the shape of DNA.

What is a double helix?

100

This is the part of the cell cycle when DNA is replicated.

What is S-phase?

100

A long, single stranded sequence of RNA that leaves the nucleus. 

What is messenger mRNA?

100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100
A 3-base sequence of mRNA.
What is a codon?
200

The sugars and the phosphates make up this.

What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?

200
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
What is the unwinding of DNA?
200

This type of RNA carries an amino acid. 

What is transfer tRNA?

200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200
A 3-base sequence found on tRNA.
What is an anticodon?
300

The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.

What is a weak bond?

300

"G" binding with a "C"  and "A" binding with a "T".

What are DNA base pairing rules?

300

This type of RNA is part of the ribosome. 

What is rRNA?

300
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
300
With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.
What is U (uracil)?
400
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
400
The enzyme that is used to make a copy of a DNA molecule.
What is DNA polymerase?
400

Free points...

Wow!

400
This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
400

This causes protein synthesis to stop.

What is a stop codon?

500

A strand of DNA has 55 Cytosine nucleotides. What is one thing that we know for sure based on this information.

There are also 55 Guanine nucleotides.

500

The name for the idea that one half of the replicated DNA is a piece of the original. 

What is semi-conservative replication?

500

True or False: DNA helicase is used in both replication and transcription.

Truuuu

Genes are located on these.
