100

A sequence of three nucleotides that forms a unit of genetic information encoding a particular amino acid

What is a codon?

100

This enzyme prevents the overwinding of DNA ahead of the replication fork by relieving strain on the DNA strands

What is capping and tailing and intron splicing?

300

DNA: deoxyribose sugar and RNA: ribose sugar

DNA: double-stranded, RNA: single-stranded

DNA: cannot leave the cell, RNA: can leave the cell

These are all examples of...


What is the difference between RNA and DNA?

300
Contains an anticodon and an amino acid
What is Transfer RNA?
300

Coding changes, amino acid remains same

What is silent mutation?

300
Arrange these from LARGEST to SMALLEST Nucleotide, Chromosome, Cell, DNA, Nucleus
What is Cell, Nucleus, Chromosome, DNA, Nucleotide?
300

This specific site on the ribosome is where tRNA first binds to the mRNA during translation.

What is P site?

400
The scientists who discovered the double helix model of DNA
Who were Watson and Crick?
400
The assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide using the information encoded in the RNA
What is Translation?
400

removing a nucleotide; shifts everything one ‘letter’ to the left.

What is a Frameshift Deletion?

400
For example, we insert the human insulin gene into bacteria and the bacteria makes human insulin
What is genetic engineering?
500
If the structure of DNA were compared to a ladder, what would make up the sides? (Not the steps of the ladder)
What are the Sugar-Phosphate Molecules?
500
What travels from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, is responsible for the production of proteins, and is created from a double stranded template
What is mRNA?
500

The sixth amino acid in the chain is valine, rather than glutamic acid. GAG becomes GTG in the 6th codon
