Used to determine the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule

What is DNA sequencing?

300

DNA is a polymer made up of monomers called __________.

What are nucleotides.

300

Enzyme that joins the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand

What is DNA ligase?

300

These are the two steps of protein synthesis. BONUS: Where does each step occur in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

What are TRANSCRIPTION and TRANSLATION? BONUS: Prokaryotes- both in cytoplasm Eukaryotes- Transcription in nucleus; translation in cytoplasm/ribosome

300

What are transcription factors?

300

Enzyme that uses RNA as a template to make DNA

What is reverse transcriptase?

400

This sugar is part of the backbone of the DNA molecule.

400
This enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides to the strand of DNA that is being copied during DNA replication.
What is DNA POLYMERASE?
400
This type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome and binds to mRNA based on its anticodon.
