100

Bb (what is this genotype called?)

heterozygous

100
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
What is a Ribosome?
100
Normal DNA: ATA-GGG-CCC-CAC Mutated DNA:ATA-GGC-CCC-AC What type of mutation is this?
Deletion
100
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
200
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T - C G C - A G T
What is U A A - G C G - U C A
200

The alleles of an organism (letters)

genotype

200
Transcription occurs in this part of the cell.
What is Nucleus
200
The type of mutation that occurs when one base is replaced by another.
What is a substitution?
200
DNA and RNA are both this type of biomolecule.
What is nucleic acid?
300

TTT-CGC-ATC --> What is the complementary DNA strand?

AAA-GCG-TAG

300

The actual characteristics of an organism based on the genoytpe. 

Phenotype

300
This molecule copies DNA in the nucleus, and then travels to the ribosome to code to produce a protein.
What is mRNA
300

Type of mutation that only changes 1 amino acid in the protein.

Point mutation

300
This is the central dogma of biology.
What is DNA-> RNA-> Proteins
400
The three molecules that make up the DNA nucleotide
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
400

BB (what is this genotype called?)

homozygous

400
DNA: AAA-ATC-GGC. What is the mRNA complement?
mRNA: UUU-UAG-CCG
400
Mutations can only passed on to offspring if they cells involved are these.
What are gametes?
400
Name two things DNA and RNA have in common:
Both are nucleic acids. Both have nitrogen bases A, C, G Both are involved in transcription
500

two differences between DNA and RNA

DNA is double stranded instead of double and RNA has uracil instead of thymine.

500

If 1 parent is homozygous dominant and another is homozygous recessive, what is the genotypic probability of having heterozygous offspring?

100% chance

500
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon
500
The type of mutation that happens when a base is either deleted or inserted, causing a change in the reading of codons and amino acids.
What is a frameshift?
500

If all organisms have DNA/RNA made of the same components then what make them different?

The sequence of nitrogenous bases.
