100
The shape of the DNA molecule.
What is a double-helix?
100
This enzyme unzips the double helix.
What is DNA helicase?
100

This type of RNA is a major component of ribosomes.

What is rRNA?

100
This RNA type carries the correct amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
100

This type of mutation changes the codon but not any amino acids

What is a silent mutation?

200
The base pairing rules.
What is Adenine - Thymine and Guanine - Cytosine?
200
This enzyme joins the Okazaki fragments.
What is DNA ligase?
200
DNA uses thymine, while RNA uses this.
What is Uracil (U)?
200
Translation uses a mRNA blueprint to make this.
What is a protein? (or an amino acid chain)
200

This mutation causes an amino acid to end early

What is a nonsense mutation?

300
The three building blocks that make up a DNA nucleotide
What are phosphate, sugar and a nitrogen base?
300

This enzyme follows helicase and makes the complementary DNA strand.

What is DNA polymerase?

300

convert this DNA into RNA:

TACGGCACT

 What is:

AUGCCGUGA

300

This is the location in the cell where translation occurs.

What is a ribosome?

300

This mutation changes only one amino acid in the sequence to another amino acid.

What is a point mutation?

400

The four bases in DNA

What are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine?

400

DNA replication occurs during this phase of the cell cycle.

What is the S phase of interphase?

400

Transcription uses DNA to make  ___________ .

What is mRNA?

400

a Codon

What are the three consecutive bases on mRNA that code for an amino acid?

400

A mutation that changes the entire remaining amino acid sequence.

What is a frameshift mutation (deletion, insertion)?

500

The monomer of DNA and RNA.

What is a nucleotide?

500

This strand replicates continuously (not in fragments).

What is the leading strand?

500
This enzyme matches RNA bases to the DNA template.
What is RNA polymerase?
500
UAA, UAG, or UGA.
What are the stop codons?
500
The type of mutation that appears to have the biggest effect on the DNA of an organism.
What is a frameshift mutation?
