Nucleotide bases in DNA
A, T, G, C
100
The two men who established the structure of DNA
Watson and Crick
100
The shape of DNA
Double Helix
100
Segment of DNA that codes for a protein and causes traits to appear
Gene
100
Start codon name and sequence
Methionine - AUG
200
The number of bases that code for 1 amino acid
Three
200
The two stages of protein synthesis (going from DNA to proteins)
Transcription and Translation
200
The building blocks of DNA
Nucleotides
200
Location and job of transcription
Builds mRNA from a DNA template strand in the nucleus
200
DNA fragments move through a gel according to length and build this
DNA fingerprint
300
Given the DNA sequence TACAGT, what is the complementary mRNA sequence?
AUGUCA
300
What is a mutation?
An error/change in the DNA sequence
300
The building blocks of proteins
Amino acids
300
Location and function of translation
Builds proteins from mRNA template at the ribosome
300
Difference between codons and anticodons
Codons - 3 bases of mRNA that code for proteins
Anticodons - 3 bases of tRNA that bring amino acids to ribosome
400
The type of RNA that carries amino acids to build proteins
tRNA
400
List the types of mutations
Deletion, Insertion, Substitution
400
Differences between DNA and RNA (mention location, shape, and nucleotide structure)
Location - DNA in nucleus only, RNA in nucleus and cytoplasm
Shape - DNA double strand, RNA single strand
Nucleotide structure - DNA deoxyribose and thymine, RNA ribose and uracil
400
What is a short tandem repeat and how is it used in DNA fingerprinting?
A repeated sequence of DNA that is flagged by restriction enzymes. The fragments of DNA are cut at the tandem repeat sites
400
Suspect 2
500
Given the DNA sequence GATCGC, what is the amino acid sequence that should code?
Leucine - Alanine
500
Mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence
Silent
500
Parts of a DNA nucleotide
Phosphoric acid, deoxyribose, base
500
How does a frameshift mutation alter the DNA sequence?
Moves the reading frame - changes the codon sequence
500
Difference between missense and nonsense mutations
Missense codes for another amino acid
Nonsense codes for stop codon
