DNA
This is the shape of DNA
What is a Double Helix
Every three bases on mRNA is called a _________.
What is a Codon
True or False
Earthworms use the same type of genetic code as humans.
True
The process where mRNA copies the genetic code from DNA is called __________.
What is Transcription
Name one of the 2 promoters found in prokaryotes
What is the -10 sequence OR What is the -35 secquence
DNA stands for this
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid
If the mRNA codon is UAG, then what is its complimentary tRNA anticodon?
AUC
Proteins are made up of long chains of __________.
What are Amino acids
If the tRNA anticodon is CGC, then this is the codon on mRNA
What is GCG?
The mRNA molecule is modified after transcription in this type of organism
What are eukaryotes?
This is the bond that holds two nitrogenous base pairs together
What is hydrogen bond
This is the name of the sugar found in RNA
What is Ribose
If a frameshift mutation from exposure to radiation caused a segment of RNA to change from AUC to UAG, what would happen to the protein during translation?
It would stop translation (or stop the formation of the polypeptide/protein)
This is where translation take place
What is in the cytoplasm at a ribosome
What are introns?
This is the process where DNA makes an exact copy of itself
What is (DNA) replication
This is the nitrogenous base which would never be found in RNA
What is Thymine
This amino acid would pair up with the DNA base sequence TAC?
What is Methionine
This is the bond called that holds two amino acids together
What is a peptide bond
This enzyme cuts out junk info from the mRNA molecule and joins together useful information
What is a spliceosome?
This is the phase of the cell cycle where DNA make a copy of itself.
What is S-phase of Interphase
If a sequence of bases on DNA is A-T-G-A-A-C-G-G-T, this is the corresponding strand of mRNA
What is U-A-C-U-U-G-C-C-A
A loss of one or more genes is known as this
What is a deletion?
This is the name of the start sequence on DNA for transcription
What is a promoter?
This is one way transcription can end
What is with a G-C hairpin?
