Transcription
During transcription, DNA is rewritten as this.
What is mRNA?
In translation, the mRNA code is used to build a chain of these.
What are amino acids?
In this process, DNA is rewritten as mRNA.
What is transcription?
True or false: Mutations are always bad.
What is false?
DNA is short for this term.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
This is what the m in mRNA stands for.
What is messenger?
Translation happens in this cell organelle.
What is the ribosome?
When your proteins are put together, they express these things about you. Examples include: eye color, height, and freckles.
What are traits?
True or false: If the DNA sequence changes from CGA to ATG, it will not make a difference in the amino acid code.
What is false?
This kind of twins have the same DNA sequences.
What is identical?
If the DNA code reads CCG, this is what the mRNA code would be.
What is GGC?
A codon is a set of this number of bases.
What is 3?
This term means a change in the DNA sequence.
What is a mutation?
True or false: If DNA sequence changes from GCA to GCT, it will not make a difference in the amino acid code.
What is true?
This percentage (+ or - 5 %) of your DNA is identical to a chimpanzee's DNA.
What is 95%?
If the DNA code reads TAC, this would be the complimentary mRNA code.
What is AUG?
If the mRNA code reads UCA, this is the amino acid coded for in translation.
What is serine?
This molecule brings the amino acids to match up with the mRNA code.
What is tRNA?
Give an example of a change in DNA that would change the amino acid coded for.
Many right answers - check your codon wheel.
This % (+ or - 5%) of your DNA is identical to the DNA in a banana.
What is 50%?
This is the DNA code that would match with AAG.
What is TTC?
This is an example of a mRNA code that would code for the amino acid glutamine.
What is CAG or CAA?
This is the type of bond that forms between amino acids.
What is a polypeptide bond?
Which 3 letter sequence of DNA could have the greatest effect on a protein?
What is ATT , ACT or ATC - because it codes for "stop". If a mutation codes for stop, it could prematurely cut the protein short.
If the DNA in one of your cells was stretched out, it would be this many meters long.
What is 18 m?
