This type of mutation is when the chromosome has less genetic material than when it started
What is a deletion mutation?
Amino acids are held together by these bonds
What are peptide bonds?
The type of mutation that explains when our DNA has more genetic material than when it started
What is a duplication mutation?
This guy came up with the base-pair rule
Who is Chargaff?
The type of bond that holds nitrogenous bases together in the DNA molecule
What is a hydrogen bond?
This type of RNA carries instruction from the nucleus
What is messenger RNA?
A mutation that results in a genetic sequence getting flipped around and then reattached
What is an inversion mutation?
These enzyme unzips the DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds
What is helicase?
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
When a group of 3 nitrogenous bases is carried to the ribosome it is called this.
What is a codon?
The type of mutation that involves 2 non homologous chromosomes switching genetic material
What is a translocation mutation?
What does DNA and RNA stand for?
The number of bonds between A&T and the number of bonds between C&G
What is 2 (A/T) and 3 (C/G)
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
These are the 3 stop codons
What is UAA, UAG, and UGA
The mutation that explains when our chromosomes fail to separate leading to a greater or lesser number of overall chromosomes
What is a nondisjunction mutation?

What is 35%?
