100
Must be capable of storing, copying, and transmitting the genetic information in the cell.
What is the role of DNA?
100
Process of copying DNA prior to cell division.
What is DNA replication?
100
A nucleic acid that codes for a polypeptide chain.
What is RNA?
100
Synthesis of a RNA molecule from a DNA template.
What is transcription?
100
A process by which the sequence of bases of an mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
What is translation?
200
Three structural components of DNA.
What are phosphate groups, deoxyribose sugars, and nitrogen bases?
200
principle enzyme involved in DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
200
Contains a ribose sugar, has only a single strand, and contains uracil over thymine.
What makes RNA different from DNA?
200
Initiation, elongation, termination.
What are the steps of transcription?
200
A group of three nucleotide bases in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid to be incorporated into a protein.
What is a codon?
300
Base pairing: (A) = (T) and (G) = (C)
What is Chargaff's rule?
300
Types of cells in which replication starts from a single point and proceeds in two directions until the entire chromosome is copied.
What are prokaryotic cells?
300
RNA found in ribosomes.
What is ribosomal RNA?
300
Regions of the DNA with a specific base sequence, signaling to the RNA polymerase were to BEGIN or END transcription.
What are promoters and terminators?
300
To carry the DNA's coding to the ribosome and direct the process of translation.
What is the role of mRNA in translation?
400
Scientists who built a three dimensional model of DNA with the help of Rosalind Franklin's discoveries.
Who were Watson and Crick?
400
Type of cells in which DNA replication may begin in many places on the DNA molecule.
What is eukaryotic cells?
400
RNA responsible for transporting the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome in order to create a protein.
What is messenger RNA?
400
The portion of RNA that are cut apart from the introns and spliced together as the necessary data.
What are exons?
400
To deliver the correct amino acid called for by each codon on the mRNA.
What is the role of tRNA in translation?
500
A virus that infects bacteria by injecting its genetic information; a main component of the Hershey-Chase experiment.
What is a bacteriophage?
500
Enzyme used to replicate DNA tips of chromosomes, called telomeres, that are particularly difficult to replicate.
What is telomerase?
500
RNA that is responsible for finding the correct amino acids for the codons of the mRNA.
What is transfer RNA?
500
An enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription.
What is RNA polymerase?
500
A chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. These chains come together to form a fully-functioning protein.
