component and structure of DNA
What is the the DNA double ladder called?
What is the Double Helix
The process in which DNA is copied
what is replication
The bases T and U are switched for this
Transcription
A change in the DNA sequence where bases are swapped for other bases
what is substitution
A section of DNA that contains instructions for specific traits
What are Genes
Where is DNA found in the cell?
the two strands that make up a copied DNA strand
what are the new and original strands
Fill in the corresponding bases ATGCCGATA
UACGGCUAU
A mutation that negatively impacts an organism.
What is a harmful Mutation
A phenotype that an organism has.
What is a trait
What are the four parts that make up the "ladder" in DNA
What are Nitrogen Bases
Replicate this DNA Strand ATGTGACCG
TACACTGGC
What are the three types of RNA
Messenger, Transfer and Ribosomal
when a nitrogen base is removed from a DNA sequence
what is deletion
What is an Amino Acid
The building blocks of proteins.
What is the backbone of DNA made of?
What are sugar and phosphate molecules
What occurs to DNA strands before replication
This type of RNA is responsible for Transcription
MRNA
ATGAACCCA-->ATGAAACCCA what occurs in this sequence
what is addition
What was the last year the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup?

A molecule located in the nucleus that carries the genetic code of an organism?
What is DNA
What are the 4 nitrogen bases and which ones link together
adenosine and thymine

Daily Double
Walk me through the steps of protein synthesis
DNA- replication, transcription: MRNA copies dna strand and leaves nucleus, goes to cytoplasm, finds ribosome, translation codons are coded for amino acids, hit stop codon, protein is complete.
Mutations that diversify a species
what is a neutral mutation
Thread like structures that are located in the Nucleus of the cell. Contains DNA
What are chromosomes
