This enzyme unwinds the double helix prior to replication
What is DNA Helicase?
100
This enzyme is responsible for the production of mRNA from a DNA template
What is RNA polymerase
100
This type of mutation results in a base swap (ex: A instead of T)
What is substitution
100
This protein plays a vital structural role in both hair and fingernails

The 'backbone' of DNA is composed of these 2 components
What is deoxyribose and phosphate
200
These small chunks of DNA are required on the lagging strand during replication.
What are Okazaki Fragments
200
This single stranded nucleic acid is responsible for the addition of amino acids to a growing polypeptide
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)
200
This type of point mutation is typically the most detrimental to a protein
What is a frameshift mutation (indel / insertion/deletion)
200
This protein is responsible for the transport of both oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood
What is hemoglobin
300
These hold together the nucleotides in DNA.
What are hydrogen bonds

These sections of DNA code for proteins
What are genes
400
If this group of enzymes were to be damaged there could be a higher mutation rate.
What are exonucleases
400
This tRNA anticodon sequence would match the mRNA made from the DNA sequence TAT.
What is UAU
400
This mutation effect would be very detrimental especially if encountered early in the amino acid sequence.
What is a nonsense mutation.
400
The genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is this type of nucleic acid.
What is mRNA
500
DNA is condensed into these in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells.
What are chromosomes
500
DNA replication occurs during this phase of the cell cycle
What is 'S' phase.
500
Apart from the cytoplasm, this is another place where you might find a ribosome.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)
500
A mutation resulting in a switch from aspartic acid to glutamic acid would most specifically be classified as this effect type.
What is a conservative missense mutation.
500
Proteins that catalyze reactions always have this ending to their name.
What is 'ase'
