The components of a nucleotide

What are a deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and one of the following nitrogen bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine?

100
Pairs with thymine.
What is adenine?

Transcription and Translation
100

1. Transcribe this: CGATGACTT

2. How many codons are present?

1. GCUACUGAA

2. three

200
The type of bond that forms between cytosine and guanine
Hydrogen Bond
200

Replicate / make a complementary strand using the strand: CTAGGT

GATCCA

200

The base that is not found in RNA and its replacement.

Thymine, Uracil

200

Produced during transcription.

mRNA

200

This is the word for when there is an error in the genetic code.

A mutation

300

Forms the "backbone" of DNA molecules

phosphate and deoxyribose sugar

300
The enzyme that unzips DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds
DNA Helicase
300

Why is a molecule of mRNA needed for the process of transcription?

mRNA is made from a DNA template and is single-stranded. It is smaller so it can leave the nucleus and bring the genetic information to the ribosome so the ribosome has the instructions for protein synthesis (making a protein).
300

1. Translate the following code:

AUGCCUCUA

2. What are the molecules on the codon chart that you used to translate the code in question 1 known as?

1. AUG-CCU-CUA

     Met-Pro-Leu

2. Amino Acids - monomers of proteins.

300

What are the three steps required for a protein to be made?

1. DNA

2. mRNA (Transcription) 

3. Protein (Translation)

400
The rules for base pairing in DNA
Adenine always pairs with Thymine Guanine always pairs with Cytosine
400

The enzyme that smooths out the lagging strand of newly synthesized DNA.

DNA Ligase

400
The structural components that are found in both DNA and RNA
Phosphate, guanine, cytosine, adenine
400
The type of bond that links amino acids.
Peptide
400

This enzyme is responsible for adding base pairs during DNA replication.

DNA Polymerase

500
If the percentage of Guanine is 13.4%, the percentages of the remaining bases.
A- 36.6 T-36.6 G- 13.4 C- 13.4
500

Based on the semi-conservative process of DNA replication, the overall result.

Two DNA molecules each with one original (template) strand and one new strand

500

The 2 RNA molecules involved in protein synthesis.

mRNA and tRNA

500
The amino acids that are specified by the following codons: AUG, UGA, UAG, & UAA DAILY DOUBLE
Methionine, STOP X 3
500

These are the places where each step of protein synthesis (called the central dogma) take place in eukaryotic cells.

DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus.

Translation (end of protein creation) of mRNA takes place at the ribosome.
