DNA is short for this term.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
200
This is what the m in mRNA stands for.
What is messenger?
200
Translation happens in this cell organelle.
What is the ribosome?
200
When your proteins are put together, they express these things about you. Examples include: eye color, height, and freckles.
What are traits?
200
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?
200
This kind of twins have the same DNA sequences.
What is identical?
300
If the DNA code reads CCG, this is what the mRNA code would be.
What is GGC?
300

A codon is a set of this many bases.

What is 3?

300
This term means a change in the DNA sequence.
What is a mutation?
300
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?
300
This percentage (+ or - 5 %) of your DNA is identical to a chimpanzee's DNA.
What is 95%?
400
If the DNA code reads TAC, this would be the complimentary mRNA code.
What is AUG?
400
If the mRNA code reads UCA, this is the amino acid coded for in translation.
What is serine?
400
This molecule brings the amino acids to match up with the mRNA code.
What is tRNA?
400
Give an example of a change in DNA that would change the amino acid coded for.
Many right answers - check your codon wheel.
400
This % (+ or - 5%) of your DNA is identical to the DNA in a banana.
What is 50%?
500
This is the DNA code that would match with AAG.
What is TTC?
500
This is an example of a mRNA code that would code for the amino acid glutamine.
What is CAG or CAA?
500
This is the type of bond that forms between amino acids.
What is a polypeptide bond?
500
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.
