200

DNA is transcribed to make this

What is mRNA?

200

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

What are ribosomes?

300
Replicate this sequence: ATCGCC
TAGCGG
300
Base that is only found in RNA
What is U - uracil?
300
Enzyme that proofreads new DNA strands
What is DNA polymerase?
300

The base pair rules for transcription.

What is ... A-U T-A G-C?

300

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
What are the three components of a nucleotide?
Phosphate group, sugar, and base (A, T, C, or G)
400
The START codon
What is AUG?
400
A change in DNA sequence (like a dropped nucleotide)
What is a mutation?
400

Why does transcription take place?

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

400

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

What is tRNA?

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.
