Structure
DNA is stored in this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
ACT
What is TGA?
This is a short segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
This is the nitrogenous base that pairs with cytosine in DNA.
What is guanine?
Proteins are made here.
What is a ribosome?
These make up the rungs of the ladder on DNA.
What is a nitrogenous base?
GCTA
What is CGAT?
This mutation is a substitution mutation resulting in a change of amino acid causing sickle shaped cells.
What is sickle cell anemia?
This is the molecule that contains the instruction code for all our genetic material.
What is DNA?
The building blocks of proteins.
What is an amino acid?
This is the structure the DNA is packaged on, humans have 46.
GCATA
What is CGTAT
This is a temporary copy of the DNA sequence used for making a protein.
What is mRNA?
What is deoxyribose?
The number of nucleotides read in a codon to code for an amino acid.
What is 3?
This is the twisted ladder and rung structure of DNA.
What is a double helix?
GCCTAGA
What is CGGATCT
The process of making a new strand of DNA.
What is replication?
This is the nitrogenous base that pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is Thymine?
A change in the sequence of DNA which can be beneficial, harmful or neutral.
What is a mutation?
This is one nitrogenous base attached to a sugar phosphate backbone.
What is a nucleotide?
CATCGGATC
What is GTAGCCTAG
This is the expression of a gene.
What is a trait?
These molecules make up the backbone of the DNA structure.
What are deoxyribose and phosphate?
This type of mutation occurs when a chromosome fails to separate during cell replication.
What is nondisjunction?
