What is point mutation?
100
It is the first stage of protein synthesis.
What is transcription?
100
This includes cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine.
What are the four bases of nucleic acids?

This is when two DNA molecules are copied from one original one.
What is DNA replication?
100
She used x-rays to show the structure of DNA.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
200
It is the type of mutation that changes the entire DNA sequence.
What is frameshift mutation?
200
It is the second stage of protein synthesis.
What is translation?
200
These include five carbon sugars, phosphate groups, and nitrogenous bases.
What are the monomers of nucleic acids?
200
This is when the hydrogen bonds break so the strands unwind.
What is the first step in DNA replication?
200
They discovered that DNA forms a double helix.
Whom are Watson and Crick?
300
This is the type of mutation that results with the same proteins it would have had if there wasn't a mutation.
What is silent mutation?
300
It stands for messenger RNA. It delivers the opposite codons of the DNA to the tRNA.
What is mRNA?
300
This states that there are about the same amount of cytosine as guanine and about the same amount of thymine as adenine.
What is Chargaff's rules?
300
This is an enzyme that connects and proofreads the sequence of nucleotides.
What is polymerase?
300
He discovered that there are equal amounts of guanine as cytosine and thymine as adenine. He developed Chargaff's rule.
Who is Chargaff?
400
This mutation stops the codons early.
What is nonsense mutation?
400
This is a chain of polypeptides.

This is the year the double helix was developed.
When is 1950?
500
This mutation changes the entire chromosome?
What is chromosomal mutation?
500
It is a set of three letters on nucleic acid that codes for amino acid.
What is a codon?
500
This replaces thymine in RNA.
What is uracil?
500
This is the purpose of one strand of DNA.
