In transcription, DNA is used as a template to make what molecule?
What is mRNA?
Translation converts mRNA into a chain of what?
What are amino acids?
DNA is made of 4 bases: A, T, C, and what?
What is G (guanine)?
What do we call the "strong" trait that shows up first?
What is dominant?
How many chromosomes do humans have in each body cell?
What is 46?
Where in the cell does transcription take place?
What is the nucleus?
Where in the cell does translation occur?
What is the ribosome?
What is the shape of a DNA molecule?
What is a double helix?
What do we call the "hidden" trait that needs two copies to show?

What are the different versions of a gene called?
What are alleles?
What DNA base pairs with RNA's uracil?
What is adenine?
What type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome?
What is tRNA?
What enzyme "unzips" the DNA strands during replication?
What is helicase?
What do you call an organism with two identical alleles for a trait?
What is homozygous?
What do we call a change or mistake in the DNA sequence?
What is a mutation?
What enzyme adds RNA nucleotides to build a strand during transcription?
What is RNA polymerase?

DNA replication is called semi-conservative. What does this mean?
Each new DNA molecule has one old strand and one new strand.
