Transcription
Translation
Mutations
Gene Regulation
Miscellaneous RNA
100
In eukaryotes, this is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus.
100
This is the structure in the cytoplasm where translation takes place.
What is a ribosome
100
Most mutations are helpful or harmful or neutral?
What is neutral
100
A group of genes with the same function that are regulated together.
What is an operon
100
RNA is single or double stranded?
What is single
200
This is the product of transcription.
What is mRNA or messenger RNA
200
This is the overall product of translation
What protein
200
This is a physical or chemical factor that causes mutations.
What is a mutagen
200
In eukaryotes, these are DNA binding proteins that control gene expression
What are transcription factors
200
The base that RNA has in place of thymine
What is uracil
300
It DNA has GACTCGATA, this is the complementary strand.
What is CUGAGCUAU
300
This is a codon, and this is what it signifies.
What is a three letter (three base), and what is an amino acid.
300
This is the difference between inversion and translocation in chromosomal mutations.
What is inversion - parts of the same chromosome switch positions, but translocation - part of one chromosome attaches to a different chromosome.
300
This is what Hox genes determine
What is a body plan (in fruit flies or humans or other animals).
300
This is what RNA stands for
What is ribonucleic acid
400
This is another word for transcription, and this is what gets transcribed.
What is "copy" and what is (a segment of) DNA.
400
This is what amino acids form, and this signifies the end of the process.
What is a polypeptide chain, and what is a stop codon.
400
This is the definition of substitution and this is the result.
What is one base is changed to a different base, and a different amino acid may result.
400
The two regions of DNA that help turn transcription on or off
What is promoter (on) and operator (off)
400
These are the three types of RNA and their functions
What is mRNA - carries the copy of the DNA code; tRNA - brings the amino acids to the ribosome; rRNA - makes up the ribosome.
500
These are the two functions of RNA polymerase.
What is separating the strands of DNA and joining nucleotides with complementary bases to make mRNA.
500
This is the location and the purpose of an anticodon.
What is: on tRNA and they are complementary to mRNA so it gives them a spot to attach to mRNA while the amino acids are bonded in a chain.
500
This is the definition and an example of frameshift mutation, and these are the gene mutations that result in frame shift.
What is when a base is inserted or deleted, the rest of the codons are off by 1. ex) ACC - UGU - ACG... add a G in the middle of the first codon and ACG - CUG - UAC - G... Insertion and deletion are frameshift mutations.
500
Nerve and liver cells have the same DNA, but are not similar in function or appearance. How is this possible and what is the name for it?
What is only the genes that are needed for that cell are turned on. The other genes are kept off. This is specialization or differentiation.
500
This is how nucleotides of DNA and RNA are similar and different (other than the base letter change)
What is they both have nitrogenous bases and phosphate groups, but DNA has the sugar deoxyribose while RNA has the sugar ribose.
