This is the information that determines which amino acid is put into a protein.
What is the order of the bases in a gene?
100
This is when cells reproduce and grow uncontrollably.
What is cancer
100
This is a mass of cells.
What is a tumor?
100
This is the use of drugs to cure cancer.
What is chemotherapy?
200
These make up the sides of the DNA 'ladder'
What are phosphate and sugar molecules?
200
This molecule brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome to add to a protein that is being built.
What is transfer RNA, tRNA?
200
This is a change in the order of bases in a gene or a change in a chromosome.
What is a mutation?
200
Guanine pairs with this during DNA Replicaiton.
What is cytosine?
200
This is the nucleotide base that is found in RNA instead of thymine.
What is uracil
300
These are the parts that make up the 'rungs' of the DNA ladder
What are nucleotide bases, ATGC
300
The job of this molecule is to carry information to make a protein from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
What is mRNA?
300
These are factors that can cause a cell to be mutated and create cancer.
What are inherited genes, pollution: smoke, etc, high fat diet
300
This is the organelle in which the process of protein transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus
300
This is the organelle where translation happens during protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome.
400
These are the steps of DNA replication
What is
1. DNA molecule unzips
2. Complementary nucleotide bases match up with the open sides
3. Two new identical molecules of DNA are created
400
These are groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule or the complementary group on a tRNA molecule.
What are codons and anticodons
400
These cells are targeted by chemotherapy.
What are cancer cells and other fast dividing cells like hair follicles?
400
These are the steps of DNA replication
What is
1. DNA Molecule unzips
2. complementary nucleotide bases match up to the bases on the two sides.
3. Two identical strands of DNA are formed
400
These are steps of protein synthesis
What are:
1 A section of DNA unzips and the information for a gene is copied onto mRNA
2. The mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome
3. The tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome in the order coded in the mRNA.
The amino acids join to make a protein
500
This is the part of the cell cycle when DNA replication takes place.
What is interphase
500
These are three ways that DNA and RNA differ.
What is DNA has 2 sides, RNA has one side
DNA has thymine, RNA has uracil
DNA always stays in the nucleus, RNA can be in nucleus or cytoplasm.
500
These are the three types of mutations.
What is insertion, deletion, substitution
500
These are the parts of a nucleotide base molecule?
What are a phosphate, sugar and base?
500
These are the ways a mutation can affect an organsim
What are mutation can benefit the organism, harm an organism or neither harm or hurt.
