These two people are credited for discovering the structure of DNA.
Who is Watson and Crick?
100
This the starting amino acid for every protein. (Aka start codon) It's codon is 'AUG'.
What is Methionine?
100
The copying of DNA into mRNA.
What is Transcrption?
100
Life is and expression of them. They make up everything in a living organism.
What are proteins?
200
These make up the backbone (the sides) the 'ladder'.
What is a phosphate and a sugar?
200
She is not often credited for helping discover the structure of DNA but without her it wouldn't have been discovered.
Who is Rosline Franklin?
200
There are twenty different types of them.
What are amino acids?
200
These make proteins. They help translate the mRNA into amino acids.
What are ribosomes?
200
This happens when one base doesn't match up right to its pair causing a change in an amino acid. These are also responsible for genetic variation on Earth.
What is point mutation?
300
The process by which macromolecules (DNA) are separated (or fragmented) to study structure.
What is DNA Electrophoresis?
300
This person determined the base pair rule.
Who is Chargroff?
300
Three of these are needed for an amino acid.
What are bases (codons)?
300
A point when the cell stops transcription.
What is a stop codon?
300
This occurs when one base gets 'snipped' out and all the bases shift causing all the amino acids to change.
What is frame shift mutation?
400
This is an enzyme that unzips the DNA at the hydrogen bonds between bases.
What is DNA Helicase?
400
He conducted experiments to figure out if hereditary material could be transferred between cells.
Who is Griffith?
400
These are long chains of amino acids.
What are polypeptides?
400
These are the catalysts of the cell.
What are enzymes?
400
This says adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine only pairs with cytosine.
What is the base pair rule?
500
This is the DNA 'proofreader'. They are an enzyme that matches bases and fixes mistakes.
What is DNA Polyamerase?
500
He conducted experiments to see what molecules did the transferring of genetic material.
Who is Avery?
500
These translate specific amino acids.
What is tRNA?
500
This is used in mRNA but not in DNA and is a base.
