What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Phosphate group, sugar, and base (A, T, C, or G)

100
The START codon
What is AUG?
100

Why does transcription take place?

DNA cannot leave the nucleus and therefore must be transcribed to mRNA to leave the nucleus.

100

Type of RNA that "brings" amino acids to the ribosome

What is tRNA?

A change in DNA sequence (like a dropped nucleotide)
What is a mutation?
200
The complete name for DNA
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
200
The sugar in RNA
What is ribose?
200

DNA transcribed to this

What is mRNA?

200

mRNA is "read" by this organelle to form a protein chain

What are ribosomes?

200

The worst kind of point mutation because it creates a stop codon too early.

How would you describe a nonsense mutation?

300
The shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
300
the shape of RNA.
What is single stranded?
300

This is transcribed into mRNA

What is DNA?

300
The end product of translation
What is an amino acid chain or protein chain?
300

This results in a change from glutamic acid to valine.

What could happen when you have point mutation that is a substitution/missense mutation in sickle cell anemia patients?

What are codons and what is it made of? Be specific.

Codons are three bases made up of (A, G, C, and/or U)

400

Deletions of one or more bases, insertions of one or more bases or Duplication, translocations and inversions of multiple bases

What are some examples of frameshift mutations?

500
Give one reason why DNA is essential to life.
DNA is an organism's genetic code. DNA creates genetic diversity. Contains code of essential proteins.
