100
These are the monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
100
This is any mistake made in the processes of transcription or translation.
What is a mutation?
100
These are organisms whose DNA codes are identical.
What are clones?
200
These are the four nitrogenous bases found in the DNA molecule.
What are adenine, thymine, cytosine, & guanine?
200
This is the process of making an RNA copy of the information found in a DNA molecule.
What is transcription?
200
This is the process of actually making a protein.
What is translation?
200
This type of mistake is a change in just one single nitrogenous base.
What is a point mutation?
200
Plants and animals that contain functional pieces of DNA from another species are referred to as this.

This is the type of nitrogenous base found only in RNA. No abbreviations!
What is uracil?
300
This is where proteins are made. Be specific!
What is on the ribosome in the cytoplasm?
300
This type of mistake is when a base is either inserted or removed from a DNA or RNA molecule.
What is a frameshift?
300
When restriction enzymes cut DNA, they sometimes create these, which have open nitrogenous bases.

400
This is the location of RNA synthesis.
What is the nucleus?
400
This is a series of three nitrogenous bases on a tRNA molecule.
What is an anticodon?
400
Mistakes that occur in somatic cells may result in this.

400
This is the term used to describe all of the genes of an organism.
What is its genome?
500
This is the type of bond that connects the nitrogenous bases in DNA.
What are hydrogens bonds?
500
This is a series of three nitrogenous bases located on a strand of mRNA that codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
500
This is the type of bond between amino acids in a protein chain.
What is a peptide bond?
500
Mistakes in these types of cells may be passed on to offspring.
