This part of an amino acid varies and determines its properties.
What is the R-group?
100
This process converts DNA into mRNA.
What is transcription?
100
This process determines which proteins a cell produces.
What is gene expression?
100
This type of mutation changes a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence.

100
This is the only mammal capable of true sustained flight.
What is a bat?
200
This bond forms between amino acids during protein formation.
What is a peptide bond?
200
This structure reads mRNA and forms a polypeptide.
What is a ribosome?
200
These proteins increase or decrease transcription by interacting with DNA.
What are transcription factors?
200
This process allows one gene to produce multiple protein products.
What is alternative splicing?
200
This country gifted the Statue of Liberty to the United States.
What is France?
300
This level of protein structure refers to the amino acid sequence.
What is primary structure?
300
This molecule carries amino acids and has an anticodon.
What is tRNA?
300
This modification adds a methyl group to DNA and reduces transcription.
What is DNA methylation?
300
This molecule carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
300
This element has the chemical symbol Ag.
What is silver?
400
This process causes proteins to lose their shape and function due to heat or pH.
What is denaturation?
400
This sequence of three bases on mRNA codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
400
This term describes changes in phenotype due to environmental influences without altering
What is phenotypic plasticity?
400
This type of gene regulation involves controlling whether transcription occurs.
What is transcriptional regulation?
400
This capital city is located on two continents.
What is Istanbul?
500
These interactions stabilise tertiary structure including hydrogen, ionic, and disulfide bonds.
What are R-group interactions?
500
This start codon signals the beginning of translation.
What is AUG?
500
These genes are expressed from only one parent due to epigenetic marking.
What are imprinted genes?
500
This term describes the complete set of proteins produced by a cell or organism.
What is the proteome?
500
This actor portrayed both Gollum (Lord of the Rings) and Caesar (Planet of the apes) using motion-capture technology.
