What are the phosphate group, deoxyribose and nitrogenous base?

200
This enzyme unzips the DNA double helix to begin the process of replication.
What is helicase?
200
The 3 types of RNA.
What are mRNA, tRNA and rRNA?
200
This is the name for the molecule that brings the amino acid to the mRNA sequence in the ribosome.
What is the tRNA
200
This is the type of bond that holds the amino acids together in a protein.
What is a peptide bond?
300

This is the type of bond that holds the nitrogenous bases together and allows for DNA to be replicated.

What are hydrogen bonds.

300
This enzyme acts as a computer and ensures that the bases are paired correctly during replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
300
This enzyme unzips the DNA and ensure correct base pairing to begin the process of transcription.
What is RNA polymerase?
300

The section of tRNA that pairs with complement on mRNA.

What is anticodon?

300

The 3' to 5' strand of DNA in of newly replicated DNA.

What is lagging strand?

400
DNA gets tightly coiled around this protein so that it can be condensed into chromosomes.
What are histones?
400
This is the model that is used to describe DNA and during the process of replication the template strand is conserved.
What is the semi-conservative model?
400
This is where the single stranded RNA travels to after it is transcribed.
What is the ribosome?
400
Sets of three bases in mRNA are called this. This amino acid is considered to be the universal start codon.
What is a codon and methionine.
400

mRNA codon UGC codes for this amino acid.
