DNA & RNA
What is the structure of DNA
Double Helix
DNA Replication occurs in the:
Nucleus
Which step comes first: Transcription or Translation
Transcription
This type of mutation does not affect the protein structure.
Point - Silent Mutation
What High School did Ferrizzi Attend?
Oley Valley
What is the monomer called for Nucleic Acids (DNA and RNA)
Nucleotide
True or False: DNA Replication produces identical copies of itself?
True
Where does translation occur?
Ribosome
This type of gene mutation can cause variation in a trait due to affecting only one amino acid.
Point - Missense Mutation

What parts make up the "back bone" of Nucleic Acids?
Sugar and Phosphate
True or False: DNA replication is always accurate?
False
tRNA is responsible for carrying the:
Amino acids
This type of mutation shifts a lot of amino acids by inserting or deleting a base pair.
Frameshift Mutations
What is the name of the instrument Ferrizzi played in highschool.
Baritone
Which Nitrogen Base is different in DNA compared to RNA
DNA = T
RNA = U
Both = A C G
The new strand of DNA is called ___________ because half of the DNA is from the original strand, while the other half is new
Semiconservative
A gene codes 300 base pairs, how many amino acids will this code?
100
Where do Gene mutations occur?
During DNA Replication
Who is Ferrizzi's favorite super hero?
Captain America or Thor
DNA is the "blueprint" for protein. What does the mRNA molecule do?
Provides the actual code for building proteins
What is the Enzyme that builds the new nucleotides?
DNA Polymerase
An mRNA strand contains 40% U what percent of the nucleotides will be C
10%
When do Chromosomal Mutaions Occur?
During Meiosis (Crossing Over of Prophase I)
