100
What does DNA stand for?
What is deoxyribonucleic Acid
100
What is the first step in DNA replication called and what happens?
What is Unwinding. It's when the two parent DNA strands separate.
100
What does RNA stand for?
What is Ribonucleic Acid.
100
Explain what central dogma is...
What is DNA to mRNA to Protein
100
If the DNA strand is TTAGCC, how many codons is that?
What is 2.
200
What are the 3 parts of a DNA nucleotide?
What are Deoxyribose, phosphate and a nitrogen base
200
What is the second step in DNA replication called and what happens?
What is Base Pairing. The enzyme adds new nucleotides from the surrounding area to make a new daughter DNA strand for each of the parent DNA strands
200
What is the name of the sugar that is in RNA?
What is Ribose.
200
How does DNA code for proteins?
Their code is used to create mRNA which is used to create a protein.
200
If the DNA strand is TAGGCT, what is the complementary mRNA strand?
What is AUCCGA
300
What are the four bases in DNA...the full names!
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cystosine
300
What is the third step of DNA replication called and what happens?
What is Joining. Enzymes join the new nucleotides together to form complete strands, each has a parent strand and a daughter strand.
300
How many strands is RNA?
What is one.
300
What is step 1 in protein synthesis called and where does it happen in the cell?
What is Transcription and in the nucleus.
300
If the mRNA is AUCCGA, what two amino acids does that code for?
What is Isoleucine and Arginine.
400
What type of bonds hold the sugar and phosphates together in the DNA backbone?
What is covalent bonds.
400
During step 2 of DNA replication, what is the name of the enzyme that reads the two parent DNA strands?
What is DNA polymerase.
400
What are the four nitrogen bases in RNA?
What is Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil.
400
What is step 2 in protein synthesis and where does it happen in the cell?
What is Translation and it happens through the cytoplasm in a ribosome.
400
What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?
What are Transfer RNA, Messenger RNA and Ribosomal RNA.
500
What type of bonds hold the nitrogen bases together in DNA?
What is hydrogen bonds.
500
If TGACCT is the parent DNA strand, what will be the daughter DNA strand?
What is ACTGGA
500
What are the three parts of RNA?
What is ribose, phosphate and a nitrogen base.
500
What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?
tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosomes during translation
500
Explain what a frameshift and point mutations are.
Frameshift-the addition or deletion of a nucleotide in a DNA sequence Point-a change in one base pair in a DNA sequence
