Replication and Transcription
Genetics
Translation
Odds and Ends
100
A section of DNA coding for a particular protein
What is a gene?
100

The process of transcription occurs here

What is the nucleus?

100

TT is an example of this (2 words)

What is homozygous dominant?

100

The protein "factory" where translation occurs

What is a ribosome?

100

Finches changing beak size and shape is an example of this

What is natural selection?

200

Structure of DNA 

What is a double helix?

200
The single stranded copy of DNA that contains U instead of T.
What is RNA? (messenger RNA, specifically)
200

This type of reproduction can produce many in a short amount of time

What is asexual reproduction?

200
cystine, methionine, lysine, phenylalanine
What are AMINO ACIDS?
200

The region of DNA called the gene codes for this

proteins

300
The base that always pairs with adenine
thymine
300

Unlike DNA, RNA has this many strands

What is one strand?

300

This process of reproduction can lead to genetic variation.

Meiosis (crossing over)

300

Why can't DNA go to the ribosome?

It is double stranded and can't leave nucleus

300

Two of the three differences between RNA and DNA

Base thymine in DNA is uracil in RNA Sugar is deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA DNA is double stranded, RNA is usually single stranded

400
Codon
What is the 3 base sequence on DNA that codes for one amino acid?
400
CUAAUGU is the RNA complement of this sequence of DNA.
What is GATTACA?
400

Define Heterozygous and give an example

What is one dominant and one recessive allele? (Hh)

400
An error in the DNA or RNA sequence
What is a mutation?
400

If tissue needs repaired this must happen to get new cells

mitosis

500

Contains A,T,C and G

What is DNA?

500
It leaves the nucleus carrying the genetic information to the cytoplasm.
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
500

Crossing two heterozygous parents gives you this percent chance of having a homozygous recessive offspring.

What is 25%?

500

They carry the amino acids in to form proteins

What is tRNA?

500

If a butterfly has 64 chromosomes, what would their haploid number be?

32
