DNA Structure
Rosalind Franklin used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
What does DNA code for?
What is a protein?
What are the 4 bases of RNA
A G C U
What is a gene?
What is a segment of DNA?
This is how DNA is "packaged" inside the cells
What is a chromosome?
What makes up the backbone of a DNA strand?
The sugars and the phosphates.
This is the first step in Protein synthesis?
What is Transcription?
What does RNA pair to in Translation
Proteins (Amino Acids)
what does a mutation change in your DNA?
what is a base pair?
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the Nucleus?
What are the 4 bases of DNA
A, G, C, T
Which base pairs bind to each other in DNA?
A G T C
A and T (apples and trees)
C and G ( cars and garage)
Which item leaves the nucleus of the cell? DNA, RNA, Both or neither?
RNA only.
What environmental factors causes a change in your DNA? (3 answers, say 1 of 3)
What is Radiation, sunlight (UV), and smoking
What makes up tissues?
What is a group of cells?
What is the Macromolecule that makes up DNA?
What is a Nucleic acid?
Which base pairs bind to each other in RNA?
A G T U
A -> U
T -> A
G-> C
C- > G
If you make a mistake when you code your DNA to RNA, what can result from this event?

The 4 bases are listed as A G T and C. What are their real names?
Adenine
Cytosine
Thymine
Guanine
Explain the final step in Protein synthesis.
RNA -> proteins: Translation
What is sickle cell and what does it do?
Sickle cell is a genetic mutation that changes the shape of your blood cells and it hinders the ability to carry oxygen through out your body.
DNA is an abbreviation for this term. You must pronounce it correctly to get the points.
