DNA
The name of the sugar in DNA
What is Deoxyribose?
This process copies information from DNA into mRNA.
What is Transcription?
A mutation in which one DNA base is replaced by another is called this type of mutation.
What is a substitution? (point mutation)
An organism whose DNA has been changed using biotechnology is commonly called this.
What is a GMO?
Meiosis produces these reproductive cells, such as sperm and eggs.
What are gametes?
A single piece of DNA is called:
What is a nucleotide?
During translation, the ribosome reads this molecule to build a protein.
What is mRNA?
This type of mutation happens when one or more nucleotides are added to a DNA sequence.
What is an insertion?
CRISPR is a technology scientists can use to do this to DNA.
A human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. After meiosis is complete, each resulting cell contains this many chromosomes.
What is 23?
What is Phosphate?
A group of three bases on mRNA that codes for an amino acid is called this.
What is a codon?
When a nucleotide is added or removed, it may cause this type of mutation that changes the reading frame.
This enzyme acts like molecular scissors and cuts DNA at a specific location during CRISPR gene editing.
What is Cas 9?
This molecule carries genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
DNA has the shape of a twisted ladder known as this.
What is a double helix?
This molecule contains the anti-codon
What is the tRNA?
This chromosome picture can be examined to identify abnormalities in chromosome number or structure.
What is Karyotype?
Scientists insert a human gene into bacteria so the bacteria can produce a human protein, such as insulin. This biotechnology process is known as this.
What is genetic engineering?
A version of a gene, such as the form for brown eyes or blue eyes, is called this.
What is an allele?
If one strand of DNA reads A-T-G-C-C-A, give the complementary DNA sequence.
If an mRNA codon reads AUG, what does it normally signal during translation?
What is start?
A change in a DNA sequence that codes for a premature STOP codon is called:
What is a nonsense mutation?
CRISPR-based gene therapy has been developed to treat this inherited blood disorder caused by abnormal hemoglobin.
What is Sickle-Cell disease?
A cell has a mutation in its DNA, but the amino acid sequence of the protein does not change. This type of mutation is called this.
What is a silent mutation?
