100
They discovered the structure of DNA.
Who are Watson and Krick?
100
A specific kind of amino acid chain.
What is a polypeptide?
100
An incorrect pairing of bases can result in this.
What is a mutation?
100
Bases are held together by this chemical bond.
What is hydrogen bonding?
100
The language of mRNA.
What is the genetic code?
200
The structure of the DNA molecule.
What is a double-helix?
200
This enzyme creates a template copy of DNA.
What is RNA polymerase?
200
The part of the nucleotide molecule that sticks out like a "key."
What is the nitrogenous base?
200
This "unzips" the base pair.
What is an enzyme (DNA helicase)?
200
During replication, the DNA molecule produces two new strands according to this rule.
What is the rule of base-pairing?
300
These parts of the nucleotide molecule make up the backbone of the DNA strand.
What is a sugar and phosphate?
300
This type is involved in the assembly of proteins.
What is rRNA?
300
The two base-pairs in DNA.
What are adenine-thymine and cytosine-guanine?
300
The sites where separation and replication occur.
What are replication forks?
300
The transcribed section of DNA is read by RNA to create amino acid chains called polypeptides.
What is translation?
400
Prokaryotes have their DNA there.
What is in the cytoplasm?
400
RNA's base pairs.
What are adenine-uracil and guanine-cytosine?
400
This is how nucleotide bases carry genetic information.
What are the sequencing of bases?
400
Genetic material does this before DNA replication.
What (when) is the fibers are drawn together to create visible chromosomes?
400
The sequence of these in a mRNA molecule are the instructions for adding amino acids to a polypeptide chain.
What are nucleotide bases?
500
This enzyme joins nucleotides by hydrogen bonding and also "proofreads" the base-pairing in a DNA strand.
What is DNA polymerase?
500
These have 3 nucleotides and specify a single amino acid to be added to a chain.
What are codons?
500
These are the 3 parts of a nucleotide molecule.
A 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
500
This pairs with adenine.
What is thymine?
500
Genes contain instructions for assembling these, specifically.
What are proteins?
