100
The monomer of a nucleic acid
What is a nucleotide?
100
the sugar in RNA
What is ribose?
100
What is the name of the process of making mRNA?
What is transcription?
100
Where does the latter portion of translation take place?
What is the ribosome?
100
Where does DNA replication take place?
What is the nucleus?
200
enzyme that is used in replication that breaks the hydrogen bonds, "unzips the DNA"
What is DNA helicase?
200
What nitrogenous base is found in RNA but NOT DNA?
What is uracil or U?
200
What enzymes is involved in transcription?
What is RNA polymerase?
200
DNA is read from which end to which end? (Hint: something prime to something else prime)
5' to 3'
200
What is meant by semi-conservative replication?
One new strand and one strand is conserved or "saved" (old strand)
300
In a DNA strand, there is 100 bases total, 21% of the bases are adenine, how many are thymine?
A always pairs with T... so 21 bases are thymine.
300
How many nucleotides make up a codon?
What is 3?
300
Where does transcription occur?
What is the nucleus?
300
Transcribe this DNA:
CCG TAT
What is GGC AUA?
300
Name one type of mutation.
frameshift, missense, nonsense or silent
400
enzyme that adds new nucleotides during replication
What is DNA polymerase?
400
What is the mRNA for this DNA sequence:
AAC GAT TTC
What is UUG CUA AAG?
400
What type of RNA is pictured here?
What is mRNA?
400
methionine is also known as...
a start codon
400
What carries the amino acid to the ribosome during transcription?
What is tRNA or transfer RNA
500
In a DNA strand, there is 100 bases total, 21% of the bases are adenine, how many are guanine?
29 bases are guanine.
500
What type of RNA is made in the nucleus before being transferred to a ribosome?
What is mRNA?
500
What type of RNA is this? What is the job of this type of RNA?
This is tRNA. tRNA brings an anticodon to the mRNA strand
500
How many nitrogen bases would code for 3 amino acids?
What is nine? (3 for each codon)
500
What amino acid starts off every polypeptide?
What is methionine?
