RNA/DNA
What is the FUNCTION of DNA?
To store genetic information and code for traits.
What does the codon AUG code for?
Meth
How are mutations caused? (Give at least two examples.)
Drugs, UV Lights, and X-Rays.
Are all genes turned on?
No, some are turned off.
Do all cells have the same DNA?
Yes.
What is the FUNCTION for RNA?
To carry information from the DNA to the ribosomes to make proteins.
What are the nitrogen bases for DNA?
A-T and C-G
What is substitution in mutation?
It is when one base has substituted for another.
What do stem cells have most/all still on?
Their DNA.
FUN GROUP QUESTION TIME:
Come up with a fun pick-up line with the class for this RNA/DNA jeopardy!
(Your pick-up line here. :D)
Ribose Nucleic Acid
What are the nitrogen bases for mRNA?
A-U and C-G
What is a mutation?
A change in the DNA sequence.
Define Embryonic Stem Cells
Have no differentiation and can become anything
What is the complementary DNA for this strand?
AAT CGA GTA CAT
TTA GCT CAT GTA
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
What is the first step to Transcription?
Unzipping one gene in DNA
If a mutation occurs in a somatic cell, will that mutation impact the organism AND its offspring?
No.
Define Adult Stem Cells
Have some differentiation, but limited in what they can become
Nucleic Acids are made up of what?
Nucelotides
What do all of these mean and translate to?
-mRNA
-tRNA
-rRNA
mRNA - Messenger (Takes information from DNA and brings it to the ribosomes)
tRNA - Transfer (Amino Acids to the ribosomes)
rRNA - Ribosomes (Ribosomes)
In protein synthesis, what is the last step?
Transcription->Translation->Protein->______
Traits
What are Frameshift mutations and are they harmful? If so, explain why.
Bases that are inserted or deleted. They are harmful because a mistake in DNA is carried into mRNA and can result in many wrong amino acids.

Who shot Photo 51 and who took the credit? (Must have the full names of the Photo 51 photo taker and last names of the ones who took the credit.
Rosalind Franklin - Photo 51
Watson and Crick - Ones credited
