Multiple origins of replication
What is how many origins of replication do eukaryotic cells have?
100
This is the enzyme that synthesizes DNA in replication.
What is DNA Polymerase III?
100
This is the synthesis of an RNA molecule using a DNA template.
What is transcription?
100
This is the process that information in RNA is propagated into protein.
What is translation?
100
The 5' end has a free phosphate and the 3' end has a free hydroxyl (OH)

Origin of Replication
What is the region of DNA where replication begins?
200
This is the strand that grows continuously during DNA replication.
What is leading strand?
200
This is the enzyme that makes an RNA molecule from a DNA template.
What is RNA polymerase?
200
This causes translation to stop.
What is the stop codon?
200
This molecule transfers information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
What is mRNA?
300
Telomeres.
What is the repetitive sequences at the end of many chromosomes?
300
This is the name of the fragments of DNA and RNA found on the lagging strand before RNA removal and ligation.
What is Okazaki fragments?
300
A region of nucleic acids that tells the RNA polymerase where to start.
What is the promoter?
300
These are translated and not removed during RNA processing.
What are exons?
300
This is the central dogma of molecular biology.
What is information flows from DNA to RNA to protein?
400
The backbone of the DNA molecule.
What is alternating deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups?
400
This is the correct model for DNA replication.
What is semiconservative?
400
These are the bases in an RNA molecule.
What are A and C and G and U?
400
This is the structure that brings together mRNA and tRNA.
What is a ribosome?
400
It is the Chargaff rule.
What is (in a DNA molecule) the number of A=T and the number of C=G?
500
The arrangement of the strands of the double helix.
What is antiparallel?
500
This is the enzyme that links Okazaki fragments together.
What is DNA ligase?
500
Redundant and not ambiguous.
What is the genetic code?
500
The part of the tRNA molecule that complementary base pairs with the mRNA.
What is the anticodon?
500
This is the part of the polypeptide that tells where in the cell it needs to go.
What is signal sequence?
