DNA Replication
RNA
Where does it happen?
Misc.
100
Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
100

Replication that happens when an old strand of DNA pairs with a new strand of DNA.

What is semi-conservative?

100

A long, single stranded sequence of RNA transcribed from DNA. (cracking the code)

What is messenger RNA (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.

What is the "backbone"?

200

This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.

What is the unwinding of DNA?

200
This type of RNA transports an amino acid to the ribosome. (Use full name)
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200
The process where mRNA is created from DNA
What is transcription?
300
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond?
300
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
What is a base pair?
300

This tool helps us determine our amino acid sequences by looking at individual codons.

What is a codon wheel?

300
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
300

With DNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.

What is T (Thymine)?

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

The base that replaces Thymine in RNA.

What is Uracil?

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

Codon that starts an amino acid sequence.

What is AUG?

500
She is famous for discovering the shape of DNA
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
500
The enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds
What is Helicase?
500

Name the sugar in RNA

What is Ribose?

500

tRNA brings amino acids to this to start translation.

What is the ribosome?

500
DNA is an abbreviation for this term.
