Miscellaneous
100
This is the site where transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
100
This is the location where translation takes place.
What is the ribosome?
100
This type of mutation occurs when one base pair (G) gets swapped for one that doesnt belong there (A).
What is a substitution mutation?
100

True or False; A neuron and a stomach cell contain different DNA because they perform different jobs.

What is  False?

100

Explain what the "synthesis" in Protein Synthesis means.

What is "to make or put together"?

200
This is the copy that is made from the DNA template, which leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
200
This molecule brings amino acids to the site of translation so that proteins can be made.
What is tRNA?
200
This type of mutation occurs when there is a point mutation that doesn't ultimately change the amino acid made.
What is a silent mutation?
200

Which type of cell is undifferentiated and has the ability to become specialized and form any cell type.

What is a stem cell?

200

What is this process known as in biology?

DNA---> mRNA---->Protein.

What is the Central Dogma?

300

This is the enzyme that helps to build RNA from the DNA during transcription.

What is RNA polymerase?

300
This is known as the start codon.
What is Methionine (AUG)?
300
This mutation occurs when a normal amino acid gets mutated into a stop codon.
What is a Nonsense Mutation?
300

A segment of DNA that codes for a protein?

What is a gene?

300
RNA polymerase is an example of this type of molecule.
What is an enzyme?
400
This is a segment of DNA, which usually codes for one specific protein.
What is a Gene?
400
This growing strand of amino acids exits the site of translation as a _________________. (Not protein)
What is a polypeptide chain (protein)?
400
This occurs when a mutation occurs and an amino acid is changed from one kind (try) to another (asp).
What is a missense mutation?
400

This affects gene expression.

What are environmental factors?

400

A change in the sequence of DNA is known as - 

What is a mutation?

500
Transcription begins the process of Central Dogma. Give the 4 components of Central Dogma.
What is DNA-RNA-Protein-Trait?
500
At the bottom of the tRNA, this matches up with the mRNA so that the amino acid can be released and form a protein chain.
What is the anticodon?
500
Daily Double!! Mutations are typically responsible for causing a frameshift mutation. Name them and dance like a chicken.
What are Insertion and Deletion Mutations?
500

The process that allows information from a gene to be used to make a protein.

What is gene expression?

500

How does mRNA leave the nucleus.

What is through a nuclear pore?
