Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
100

This is what results from copying one molecule of DNA

What are two molecules of DNA?

100
A long, single stranded sequence of RNA. (Use full name)
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100

This element is found in the base of DNA and RNA

What is a nitrogen?

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

This is the enzyme responsible for unwinding a DNA molecule

What is helicase?

200

This type of RNA carries an amino acid. (Use full name) and looks like a T

What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?

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

This woman who helped identify the structure of DNA died before she could receive the Nobel Prize

Who is Rosalind Franklin?

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 type of RNA assembles itself into an "apple with a hole in it" through which mRNA can slither. (Use full name)
What is ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
300
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
300
With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.
What is U (uracil)?
400
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
400
The enzyme that is used to make a copy of a DNA molecule.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
400

This word refers to DNA being half old, half new

What is semiconservative?

500
He is credited with the discovery that the amount of G's was roughly equal to the amount of C's (and A's with T's) in several samples of DNA.
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
500

This is the central dogma of molecular biology

What is DNA to RNA to Protein?

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