Miscellaneous
100
The bases used are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil.
What is RNA?
100
Translation
What is creating an amino acid chain from an mRNA template?
100
Helicase
What is the enzyme that unwinds the double helix?
100
These extra pieces of DNA are found in bacteria in the form of a circle.
What are plasmids?
100
These are the 4 kinds of DNA mutations that can occur
What are deletion, insertion, frameshift, and substitution?
200
The "sides" of the DNA ladder.
What is the sugar-phosphate backbone?
200
This brings in the correct amino acids when a protein is being made.
What is tRNA?
200
This enzyme is essential for joining Okazaki fragments during replication and for completing short- patch DNA synthesis occurring in DNA repair process.
What is DNA ligase?
200
This antibiotic prohibits the synthesis of cell walls.
What is Ampicillin?
200
This process separates DNA fragments by size and charge.
What is Gel Electrophoresis?
300
This is made of a phosphate, sugar, and nitrogenous base.
What is a nucleotide?
300
Transcription
What is creating an mRNA strand from a DNA template?
300
The original three models of DNA replication.
What are Conservative, Semi-Conservative, and Dispersive?
300
The term for viruses that infect bacteria
What is bacteriophage?
300
In the bacteria experiment, this thing made the bacteria resistant to ampicillin and glow in the dark.
What is the plasmid?
400
This process provided one of the most important clues that DNA was a double helix.
What is X-Ray crystallography?
400
The resulting amino acid from this DNA: TACGCTATC
What is MET(or start)-ARG-stop?
400
This prevents the two DNA strands from reforming their hydrogen bonds.
What is a single strand binding protein?
400
The process in which a virus overtakes a cell and uses the cellular machinery of its host to reproduce. Copies of the virus fill the cell to bursting, killing the cell and releasing viruses to infect more cells.
What is the lytic cycle?
400
This molecule mainly functions in ribosomes, but is also involved in interaction with tRNA via peptidyl transferase. It is not affected by mutations in the transcription process.
What is rRNA?
500
These rules helped prove that Levene's tetranucleotide model was incorrect, and specify that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine.
What are Chargaff's Rules?
500
**DOUBLE JEOPARDY** Walk us through the steps of transcription and translation.
1000 Points!!!
500
These things protect the organism’s genes from being eroded through successive rounds of DNA replication
What are telomeres?
500
These are the two main anatomy parts of a virus.
What are Nucleic Acid and Capsid?
500
These two scientists concluded that bacterial viruses, called phage, were used to demonstrate that DNA is the genetic material.
