DNA
Our DNA is located in this part of the cell
What is the nucleus?
These are the two main parts of protein synthesis
What is transcription and translation?
This is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell divides
What is mitosis?
This enzyme is used to "build" DNA
What is DNA Polymerase?
This animal is considered immortal
What is a lobster?
DNA has this many types of nucleotides in it.
What is four?
In a eukaryotic cell, transcription takes place in this part.
What is the nucleus?
This is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated
What is synthesis?
This enzyme is used to "unzip" the DNA before building
What is helicase?
This animal changes its fur color from brown to white depending on the amount of sunlight
What is the Artic Fox?
Cytosine always pairs with this type of nucleotide
What is guanine?
This part of the cell is the "factory" that builds the proteins
What is the ribosome?
Mitosis has this many phases
What is five?
This enzyme helps to "glue" the newly made DNA together
What is ligase?
Many frogs in this state were discovered is abnormalities, malformations and mutations in the 1990's
What is Minnesota?
The "backbone" of DNA is made up of sugars and these.
What are phosphates?
This is the name of a three nucleotide sequence that codes for amino acids.
What are codons?
This phase of the cell cycle is not shown on a diagram and is when the cell is resting or inactive
Gap Zero
DNA polymerase can only build in this direction
What is 5 prime to 3 prime?
In the 1920's, Frederick Griffith injected this type of animal with R bacteria and S bacteria to test out his theories of DNA
What are mice?
The D in DNA stands for this
What is deoxyribose?
This three letter RNA code gives us the start codon, Met.
What is AUG?
These are the phases of mitosis, in order
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis?
This is the second strand in DNA replication. The first is called leading.
What is lagging?
This animal closely resembles humans genetically
