What is a codon?
it is a series of 3 nitrogen bases found on an mRNA strand
100
What does the "m" stand for in mRNA?
messenger
100
This structure is double stranded; like a helix.
What is DNA?
200
What is the structure difference in DNA and mRNA?
DNA is a double Helix, RNA is a single Helix.
200
What mRNA bases would pair with this strand of DNA: G-G-A-T-C-G-C
C-C-U-A-G-C-G
200
What occurs during translation?
an mRNA strand is "decoded" into a sequence of amino acids, that result in a protein
200
What is the relationship between amino acids and proteins?
Amino acids are the building blocks of a protein.
200
What is a protein?
A protein is a chain of amino acids that are connected to each other.
300
What are 2 parts of protein synthesis called?
Transcription and Translation
300
What is the result of transcription?
a copy of a gene is made, using mRNA
300
What does tRNA Stand for?
Transfer RNA
300
Where does translation occur and what is the end result?
Translation occurs in a ribosome and the end result is a protein.
300
Why are proteins important?
Proteins are the building blocks of life.
400
What base is found in DNA, but NOT found in RNA?
DNA has thyamine (T) and RNA does not.
400
Any change in a DNA sequence.
A mutation

What organelle must mRNA attach to before protein production can begin?
mRNA must attach itself to a ribosome
