100
The type of sugar in DNA.
What is Deoxyribose?
100
the number of strands contained in RNA
What is one?
100
External factors such as changes in temperature, exposure to radiation or chemicals that change DNA
What is a mutagen?
100
Three nucleotides of mRNA. Example: UUC, CGG, UCG
What is a codon?
100
Any change in the DNA sequence of an organism.
What is a mutation?
200
This process occurs when each newly synthesized DNA strand has one parent (old) strand and a new daughter strand of DNA.
What is replication?
200
RNA carries instructions from DNA out to the _____ of the cell.
What is ribosome?
200
The start codon is represented by these (3) letters.
What is AUG?
200
This enzyme does the final stage of DNA replication by binding the newly attached free nucleotides.
What is ligase?
200
This occurs when one or more bases of codon are deleted during replication?
What is deletion?
300
The (four) bases that are found in DNA
What is Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine?
300
This carries amino acids to the mRNA located in the ribosome to make proteins
What is tRNA?
300
Lets the mRNA know when to STOP for an amino acid to form.
What is an ANTI codon?
300
Known as substitutions, this occurs when bases in the RNA are mismatched together.
What is point mutation?
300
This enzyme unzips the parent strand by breaking the hydrogen bonds.
What is helicase?
400
Partners with Uracil in RNA and Thymine in DNA
What is Adenine?
400
Proteins are are series of chains made up of these
What are amino acids?
400
When bases are added or removed, all of the codons that follow the mutation will be altered or changed.
What is frameshift?
400
This copies the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.
What is RNA?
400
Anytime a mutation that changes the codon and makes a different amino acid in the protein is referred to as ____
What is Missense?
500
Hemoglobin, elastin, and collagen are examples of this.
What are proteins?
500
These two men discovered the structure of DNA
Who is Click and Watson?
500
to convert the instructions of RNA (order of bases) into amino acids, to make proteins.
What is Translation?
500
The three (3) types of RNA
What is messenger, transfer, and ribosomal?
500
The phase of Mitosis/Meosis replication of the DNA occurs
What is the S phase?
