DNA
What are the four nucleotide base pairs in DNA? Which base pair gets replaced with Uracil in RNA?
Thymine gets replaced by uracil in RNA
What are the three types of RNA?
tRNA, mRNA, rRNA
What is the process of transcription? What is the process of translation?
Transcribing a strand of DNA to a strand of mRNA- transcription
Synthesizing the protein- translation
What did Rosalind Franklin do?
Use x-ray diffraction on DNA to try and figure out the structure
What is the most popular fast food chain?

Who discovered the structure of DNA?
Watson & Crick
Which macromolecule is RNA apart of? Because of this, what are the monomers of RNA?
Nucleic acids, nucleotides
Where does transcription occur at?
Nucleus
Transcribe the following strand of DNA to RNA: AATCGGCT
UUAGCCGA
What is the current bilboard top 100 number 1 song?

DNA is double stranded (going in opposite directions) RNA is single stranded
DNA contains the nucleotide Thymine, RNA contains the nucleotide Uracil
What are on the two ends of tRNA?

Name the bonds that hold together nitrogen base pairs AND the bonds that hold together sugar & phosphate
Hydrogen, covalent
What is a codon and its function?
A triplet of nucleotides that code for a specific amino acid
What are polypeptides?
A chain of amino acid formed during translation
On a ribosome, what are the two sections called?
Small subunit and large subunit
What is the most popular dog breed?
French Bulldog
5-carbon deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen bases
Explain the role of tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA in protein synthesis
mRNA is transcribed from a strand of DNA in transcription, thus carrying the message for the proteins being created
tRNA goes to find the necessary codon and transfer it to the mRNA after reading the message
rRNA binds all of the RNA molecules together on a ribosome
Which types of RNA are used in transcription? Which types of RNA are found in translation?
mRNA- transcription
all of them OR it would be acceptable to say tRNA and rRNA
On a ribosome, what is the role of the P site, E site, and A site?
P site, holds the polypeptide chain, E site discards the tRNA that was used, A site holds the amino acids that are getting ready to be added to the P site
What movie is currently the highest grossing move of 2025 (released in 2025)
Dog man
