DNA Structure
Miscellaneous
100
During this process, the information along only one of the DNA strands is copied, producing a strand of RNA molecules.
What is transcription?
100
Ribosomes are comprised of this number of subunits.
What is 2?
100
A copy of a gene is also known as this.
What is allele?
100
It is the 3D structure of DNA first determined in 1953 by Watson and Crick.
What is double helix?
100
A couple has 2 children, both of whom are boys. What is the chance that the couple's next child will be a boy?
What is 50%?
200
Transcription is initiated by this enzyme, which binds to a particular sequence of nucleotides on one of the DNA strands.
What is an RNA primer?
200
These are the three stages of protein synthesis.
What are Initiation, Elongation, and Termination?
200
Pattern of inheritance where neither allele is dominant and where heterozygosity displays an intermediate phenotype.
What is incomplete dominance?
200
The two strands of DNA run in opposite directions of one another, so they are considered to be this.
What is antiparallel?
200
By looking at an organism, we usually can see this (the appearance).
What is phenotype?
300
This refers to the three-letter code which codes for a specific amino acid.
What is a codon?
300
This molecule of energy is required at each stage of protein synthesis.
What is ATP (or Adenosine triphosphate)?
300
A woman whose father was blood type AB and whose mother was blood type A marries a man of blood type B. Of their children, one has type o and the other has type A. This is the genotype of the woman.
What is AO?
300
Base pairing occurs between a purine and a pyrimidine. Adenosine binds to this pyrimidine.
What is thymine?
300
The process during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.
What is crossing over?
400
An enzyme that synthesizes a daughter strand(s) of DNA from the DNA template. It is the enzyme responsible for DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
U A G is an example of this type of codon, signaling the end of a protein.
What is a stop codon?
400
Bloodtype is an example of this form of inheritance.
What is co-dominance?
400
The amount of cytosine is equivalent to the amount of this purine in a DNA molecule.
What is guanine?
400
The strand of DNA that is continuously synthesized during replication.
What is leading strand?
500
These are the three major functional types of RNA synthesized from a DNA template in the nucleus.
What are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.
500
Short fragment of DNA created on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
What is okazaki fragment?
500
A male red-eyed vampire mates with a blue-eyed female vampire. Red is dominant. Blue is recessive. The man is heterozygous for eye colour. The female likes to wear green contacts to make her eyes look brown. What are the chances their child has his/her mother's eyes?
What is R r X r r - 50% chance?
500
Watson and Crick published 'Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids' in 1953 in this journal.
What is 'Nature'?
500
An enzyme that catalyses the unwinding of the double helix.
What is DNA helicase?
