What is DNA.

100

What 3D shape does DNA take?

What is double helix.

100

What does it mean when DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative?

What is half the parental molecule is maintained in each daughter molecule.

100

What is synthesized from a DNA template during transcription?

What is mRNA.

100

What is translation?

What is the synthesis of a protein under the direction of mRNA.

200

What are the chemical units/chemical building blocks that make up DNA?

What are nucleotides.

200

What is the main structural difference between DNA and RNA?

What is DNA is double stranded, RNA is single stranded.

200

Where does DNA replication occur?

What is the nucleus.
200

What are the three steps of transcription?

What is initiation, elongation, and termination.

200

In what organelle does translation occur?

What is ribosomes.

300

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in the nucleotides of DNA?

What is adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

300

What is the full name of DNA (what does "DNA" stand for)?

What is Deoxyribonucleic acid.

300

What characteristic of DNA allows for it to be so efficient?

What are base-pairing rules

300

What determines where transcription begins and acts as a binding site for RNA Polymerase?

What is a promoter (specific nucleotide sequence)

300

What other RNA molecule (besides mRNA) is used in the translation process?

What is tRNA.

400

What nitrogenous base is found in RNA and not DNA?

What is uracil.

400

What is the primary function of DNA?

What is to encode and store genetic information and act as a molecule of heredity.

400

What enzyme allows for the replication of DNA?

What is DNA Polymerase.

400

What is the transcription enzyme that moves along the gene and forms a new RNA strand by following base-pairing rules?

What is RNA Polymerase.

400

How does tRNA match the correct amino acid that the mRNA strand codes for?

What is using anticodons that match with the correct codon on the mRNA strand.

500

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

What are a nitrogenous base, a phosphate group, and a sugar.

500

I have a DNA strand that consists of 30% Adenine. What percent of this DNA strand is Cytosine? (Chargaff's Rule)

What is 20% Cytosine. 

500

DNA replication results in two (different/identical) DNA strands.

What is identical.

500

What is synthesized at the end of transcription?

What is an mRNA molecule.

What is the final product of translation?

What is a completed polypeptide/protein.
