What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100

A 3-base sequence of mRNA.

What is a codon?

200
The sugars and the phosphates.
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?
200

A folded polypeptide chain. 

What is a protein?

200

The organelle creates chains of amino acids called polypeptide chains. 

What is the ribosome?

200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200

The process where DNA is replicated into RNA. 

What is an transcription?

300
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond?
300

This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".

What is a base pair?

300

This is a group of 3 nitrogenous bases that codes for an amino acid.

What is a codon?

300
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
300

The process where a ribosome uses mRNA to create chains of amino acids. 

What is translation?

400
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
400

A change in the DNA nucleotide sequence that can alter a gene and create a malfuncitoning protein. 

What is a mutation? 

400

Name 2 differences between RNA and DNA. 

Uracil replaces thymine.

RNA is single stranded.

Ribose is the sugar in RNA and not deoxyribose.

This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
400

An identify characteristic of an organism.

The full name of RNA. 

What is Ribonucleic acid?

500
When mRNA is transcribed from DNA, it then slips through these to get into the cytoplasm.
