DNA Replication
Types of RNA
Where does it happen?
Misc.
100
Rosslyn Franklin used this term to describe the shape of DNA after she took an X-ray picture of the DNA.
What is a double helix?
100
This is what the word "replicate" means.
What is "copy"?
100
UGA, GAG, CGA, ATC, GCU... which one can not be a mRNA codon?
ATC
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 part of the DNA connected by strong covalent bonds.
What is the "sugar-phosphate backbone of a DNA molecule"?
200
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
What is the unwinding of DNA using an enzyme?
200
This type of RNA carries an amino acid. (Use full name)
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200
A 3-base sequence found on tRNA.
What is an anticodon?
300
The part of the DNA connected by weak hydrogen bond
What is the type of bond that connects the base pairs together?
300
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
What is a base pair? What is complementary?
300
This type of RNA that reads the mRNA in order to build a protein.
What is ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
300
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm? What are the ribosomes?
300
The type of bond that links amino acids together
What is a peptide bond?
400
The three parts of the nucleotide for DNA. (use full names of each, spelled right)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous base?
400
Why DNA needs to replicate.
When a cell splits, the daughter cells will have enough DNA
400
The RNA strand that would be complementary to the following DNA strand: AGCCAG
What is UCGGUC?
400
This is the organelle that holds the mRNA strand in place while translation happens.
What is the ribosome?
400
When a piece of a chromosome it taken out, flipped around, stuck back in the chromosome, causing a mutation.
What is an inversion?
500
If a piece of DNA has 6% adenines, how many thymines, guanines and cytosines are there?
44% C 44% G 6% T
500
The molecules which the DNA double helix winds around so that DNA can become packed into a cell.
What are histone proteins? What are "associated proteins."
500
When coding for amino acids and there are multiple mRNA codons that can be the same amino acid
What is wobble?
500
Amino acids link to make a protein. Where do these proteins link?
What is the ribosome?
500
When fragments of DNA are separated by size in order to compare DNA sequences.
What is a gel electrophoresis or DNA fingerprint?
