100
Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
100
This is the phase  of the Cell Cycle during which DNA replication takes place.
What is the S phase?
100

A long, single stranded sequence of RNA transcribed from DNA that is used as the template to build proteins. (what type of RNA?)

What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?

100

A type of mutation where one base is lost

What is Deletion?
100

With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.

What is U (uracil)?

200
The sugars and the phosphates.
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?
200
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
What is the unwinding of DNA?
200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200

Original strand: AUG CCA GUA

Mutation: AUG GCC AGU A

What type of mutation is this?

What is insertion?

200

AUG is an example of 

What is a codon?

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
The process where mRNA is created from DNA
What is transcription?
300

Substitution mutations can also be called

What are Point mutations?

300

What is the base that is only present in RNA ?

What is 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

The process of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA working together on a ribosome to build a sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain and make a protein is called

What is Translation

400

These two types of mutations are classified as frameshift mutations

What is Deletion and Insertion

400

Amino Acids are found floating in the 

(Hint: tRNA is also initially found here)

What is cytoplasm?

500
She is famous for discovering the shape of DNA
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
500

The enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds (unzips the DNA strand!)

What is Helicase?

500
This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
500

If s substitution changes the amino acid to a stop codon, this is called
