DNA
The sugar that is part of DNA
What is deoxyribose?
Protein synthesis takes place here:
What is in the cytoplasm?
Can you solve crimes using blood samples? Why or why not?
What is yes, because a persons DNA is found in blood samples.
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
What is the opening step to protein synthesis?
What is DNA unzips between it's base pairs?
Leo's father is very good at playing piano, and so is is Leo. However, Leo's sister is not good at the piano. Did Leo inherit his father's piano skills? Why or why not?
What is no, because playing piano is not a trait that can be genetically inherited by an offspring from a parent.
Leo is just also god at piano, while his sister is not.
How are many different amino acids are there?
What is 20?
DNA's structure is often described as this:
What is a double helix?
The full names for the two different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA and transfer RNA?
What is the tRNA code for the DNA strand TGTGAA?
What is UGUGAA?
What female scientist discovered that DNA could exist in wet and dry forms?
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
in what step of protein synthesis does tRNA attach to mRNA to begin forming proteins?
What is step 3?
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
What is it provides the code for the protein that will be made?
At the end of DNA replication, what is formed?
What is two identical strands of DNA?
What areas does mRNA move between in a cell during protein synthesis?
What is moving from the nucleus to the cytoplasm?
The reason why DNA replication happens.
What is to pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division?
List the 5 steps of protein synthesis.
What is 1. mRNA enters the cytoplasm, 2. Ribosomes attach to mRNA, 3. tRNA attaches to mRNA, 4. Amino acids join the ribosome, 5. Protein chain is formed?
What are the three characteristics of an organism that proteins can code for?
What are shape, size and color?
How does a protein chain know when to stop during protein synthesis?
What is a stop code is read?
