Transcription
The word we use to describe a 3-nucleotide long sequence of DNA or RNA.
Codon
What product is created at the end of translation?
a Protein
A pairs with this nitrogen base
T
The national animal of Scotland
Unicorn
The DNA Strand ATTAGC will transcribe into the RNA strand...
UAAUCG
What cell organelle is responsible for the process of Translation?
Ribosomes
This is the shape of a DNA molecule
Double Helix
The one NFL team that has a plant for a logo
New Orleans Saints (fleur-de-lis is a lily)
This is the cellular location of Transcription.
Nucleus of cell
This is the cellular location of Translation
The Cytoplasm
This is the first step to replicating DNA
Unzip the DNA molecule

Mars and Murrie
How would you describe what happened if the RNA "UAG" was created from the DNA "AAC"? (one word)
Mutation
An RNA strand contains the two codons CCU-CCA. What two amino acids do you expect to find after translation?
Proline-Proline
The end product of DNA replication

The unit of measure for the speed of a computer mouse
Mickeys
Give TWO ways to identify if a nucleic acid is RNA instead of DNA.
It has Uracil, It is single stranded
A scientist allows transcription AND translation to happen and ends up with a long protein containing a repeating sequence of the amino acid "Tryptophan." What repeating DNA sequence must have been used to synthesize this protein?
A-C-C
(ACC would transcribe to UGG. UGG would translate to Tryptophan)
This is how many times your DNA can reach the moon and back if it was all stretched out
