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 is strand of RNA?
100
A long, single stranded sequence of RNA. (Use full name)
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?

100
What replaces T in the RNA sequence
What is U
200
The sugars and the phosphates.
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?

This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
What is the unwinding of DNA?
200
This type of RNA carries an amino acid. (Use full name)
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
200

What is the first step in Transcription
What is RNA polymerase binds to specific sequence of DNA that acts as a signal to start 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 type of RNA assembles itself into an "apple with a hole in it" through which mRNA can slither. (Use full name)
