Gene Mutations
True or false, All Mutations are negative for the organism they occur in.
False
The sugar that forms part of the backbone in RNA
Ribose
True or False. All cells in an organism has all DNA for every type of cell in that organism.
True
This type of RNA molecule is created in the nucleus by copying a gene on a strand of DNA.
mRNA
DNA: TAC
RNA: AUG
Methionine (Met)
Original Sequence: AAG TCG TTC
Mutated Sequence: AAT CGT TC
The type of Mutation shown here.
This molecule can only exist inside the nucleus
DNA
True or False. Some genes only activate in the presence of stimuli from the outside world.
True
The process of copying a DNA molecule into an mRNA strand.
Transcription
Tryptophan (Trp)
This type of mutation causes a new STOP codon to be transcribed in the middle of a gene.
Nonsense Mutation
This nitrogen base pairs with Adenine, but only in RNA.
Uracil
The state a gene is in when it's DNA is NOT being coded for.
Off
The organelle where mRNA is read to turn into a protein.
Ribosome
RNA: UGA
STOP
What we call any outside substance that can cause a mutation.
Carcinogen
Write both the DNA and RNA complementary code for the following sequence
TACTATGCA
DNA:ATGATACGT
RNA:AUGAUACGU
Your body synthesizes this in order to express a gene.
Protein
The type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome during Protein Synthesis
tRNA
RNA: GGA - UUU - AAG
Gly - Phe - Lys
This type of mutation results in new base pairs being added into a DNA sequence, changing all of the sequence down the strand.
Insertion (Frameshift)
The process by which a ribosome produce a polypeptide chain that will be folded into a protein
DNA: TAC-GCC-ATA
Met - Arg - Tyr
