DNA/RNA Structure
Replication
Transcription
Translation
Mutation
100
This nitrogenous base pairs with Thymine.
What is Adenine?
100
When DNA is replicated the final product is this.
What is an exact copy of the DNA?
100
Transcription creates a temporary copy of the DNA using this nucleic acid.
What is mRNA?
100
mRNA is changed into this "language" in a process called translation.
What are amino acids?
100
This is the most common type of mutation in DNA.
What is a point (substitution) mutation?
200
The backbone of DNA is made of a repeating sequence of these two molecules.
What are sugar and phosphate?
200
One of the two enzymes involved in DNA replication.
What is DNA Helicase or DNA Polymerase?
200
A way that RNA differs from DNA.
What is Thymine is replaced with Uracil; Single stranded; ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose?
200
A grouping of 3 nucleotides that are read like a word.
What is a codon?
200
A mutation that causes a shift in the reading frame.
What is a frame-shift mutation (insertion/deletion)?
300
One of the differences between DNA and RNA is the replacement of Thymine with this base.
What is Uracil.
300
This enzyme is said to "unwind" the DNA.
What is DNA Helicase?
300
This is the main enzyme involved in DNA Transcription.
What is RNA Polymerase?
300
The main machine used to translate mRNA into amino acid sequences.
What is the ribosome?
300
When a piece from a non-homologous chromosome is inserted into another chromosome.
What is a translocation?
400
The "twisted ladder" structure of DNA was originally discovered by these two men.
Who are James Watson and Francis Crick?
400
During replication this base pairs with Adenine.
What is Thymine?
400
The complimentary mRNA strand of the sequence CCAATG is this.
What is GGUUAC?
400
This molecule brings amino acids into the ribosome during translation.
What is tRNA?
400
The mutation between the following two strands could be described as this. AATTAGCCAGAT AATAGCCAGAT
What is a deletion?
500
The combination of a sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous base is known as this.
What is a nucleotide?
500
DNA replication occurs in this phase of the cell cycle.
What is "S" Phase?
500
These are the 3 main types of RNA in the cell.
What are mRNA, tRNA and rRNA?
500
Translation occurs in this part of the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
500
The mutation between the following two strands could be described as this. AATTAGCCAGAT AATTAACCAGAT
What is a point mutation (substitution)?
