Translation
100
the shape of DNA
What is a double helix?
100
series of three nucleotide bases
What is a codon?
100
this nucleic acid is created in replication
What is DNA?
100
This nucleic acid is created in transcription
What is RNA?
100
Where translation occurs
What is the cytoplasm?
200
the three parts of a nucleotide
What is sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base?
200
the nitrogen base that is found in RNA but not DNA
What is uracil?
200
This is the location where replication occurs
What is nucleus?
200
This enzyme is used during transcription
What is RNA polymerase?
200
This is created in translation
What are proteins/amino acids?
300
The phase of cell division where DNA replicates
What is interphase(synthesis)?
300
What codon starts the protein chain?
What is AUG (methionine)?
300
These are the enzymes used in replication
What are DNA helicase, DNA polymerase, ligase, RNA primers
300
This is where transcription occurs
Where is the nucleus?
300
The step where the AUG codon signals the beginning of a protein chain
What is initiation?
400
The scientists who discovered the model of DNA
Who are Watson & Crick?
400
disturbance in the nucleotide sequence, may or not change the amino acids when translated
What is a mutation?
400
This enzyme adds nucleotides to the new strand
What is DNA polymerase?
400
This serves as the template for RNA
What is a single strand?
400
The step where codons are read, and the anticodons link amino acids together
What is elongation?
500
the sequence of bases on one strand determines the sequence of bases on the opposite strand
What are complementary base pairs?
500
this form of RNA carries instructions for making a protein to the ribosome
What is messenger RNA?
500
These are the short segments on the lagging strand
What are Okazaki fragments?
500
The base that pairs with uracil
What is adenine?
500
The step where the stop codon is reached and the process is ended
What is termination?
