This term refers to the process by which bacteria replicate.
What is binary fission
100
these have anticodons that help get them to the mRNA
What is tRNA
100
these changes can alter the properties of a protein because they would create abnormal interactions between adjacent subunits
What are mutations (or point mutations)
100
The two strands of the DNA double helix are held together by these bonds
What are hydrogen bonds
100
Frosty the snowman's nose
What is a button
200
This term refers to the process where mRNA is ‘read’ to create protein.
What is translation
200
this molecule leaves the nucleus and transports the genetic code to the ribosomes
What is mRNA
200
this kind of mutation happens because of an insertion or a deletion of a base in the DNA.
What is frameshift
200
Rosalind Franklin’s x-ray diffraction images and molecular measurements directly supported the claim that DNA is this shape
What is a helix
200
the top grossing Disney film to date
What is Frozen
300
This term refers to the process in which RNA is created from a DNA template.
What is transcription.
300
After transcription these are spliced (removed) from eukaryotic mRNA
What are introns
300
this enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a DNA strand in the 5’ to 3’ direction
What is DNA polymerase
300
a segment of DNA would become denatured (split open) at a lower temperature (more easily) if it had more of these nucleotide pairings because they only have 2 hydrogen bonds between them (instead of 3)
What is A-T
300
this Canadian rapper initially gained recognition as an actor on the teen drama Degrassi
Who is Drake
400
This term refers to the process that happens to DNA in the S phase of the cell cycle.
What is replication
400
These are the coding segments of eukaryotic DNA
What are exons
400
the sequence of this strand determines the nucleotide sequence of newly-made DNA during replication
What is template
400
The DNA double helix has a uniform diameter because __________ (A and G), which have 2 rings, always pair with ____________ (C and T), which have one ring.
What are purines and pyrimidines
400
the birth month of both Kostenko children
What is November
500
This term refers to the process where foreign DNA is taken up and expressed by a cell (like in the experiment with the 'R' and 'S' bacteria when we learned DNA history).
What is transformation
500
these bonds are responsible for joining amino acids during translation (the bonds that hold AAs together in a protein)
What are peptide and/or covalent bonds
500
in the semiconservative model of DNA replication DNA polymerase moves away from the replication fork on the lagging strand creating these short fragments
What are okazaki fragments
500
specific gene expression patterns are possible because of _____________, which are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that are present in some tissues but not in other tissues.
What is an activator proteins or transcription factors
500
NJ is home to America's oldest working lighthouse. It is located here.
