100
this is the sugar in the backbone of RNA
What is ribose
100
this is where transcription happens
What is the nucleus
100
this is where translation occurs
What is the ribosome
100
Viruses are not alive- True or False
What is true
200
the backbone of DNA is made of this sugar
What is deoxyribose
200
this is the base that RNA has but DNA does not
What is uracil
200
transcription involves both DNA and RNA- true or false
true
200
this is the type of RNA used during translation
What is tRNA
200
viruses cannot do these things
What is grow or reproduce on their own
300
these building blocks compliment each other and are joined by hydrogen bonds (2 or 3) on the inside of the DNA strand
What are bases
300
this is the number of strands that RNA has
What is one
300
this is the result of transcription
What is a single strand of mRNA
300
this is the name for a set of 3 bases that correspond, or "go with," a specific amino acid
What is a codon
300
viruses have a protein coat around their DNA or RNA- this is its name
What is a capsid
400
these are the 2 types of bases
What are purine and pyrimidine
400
these are the processes that RNA is used in
What are transcription and translation
400
this is the enzyme used during transcription
What is polymerase (RNA polymerase)
400
this code decides which codon corresponds with which amino acid
What is the genetic code
400
this is the membrane that surrounds the capsid- it is made of proteins and glycoproteins
What is the envelope
