4.1
What forms the genetic code?
The order of nitrogen bases along a gene, and it specifies what protein will be produced.
How does a cell make proteins?
During Protein synthesis the cell uses information from a gene on a chromosome to produce a specific protein
How does cancer spread?
It spreads through the blood stream.
What is a disease in which cells grow and divide uncontrollable, damaging the organs around it?
What song does Olivia Birkle love to sing on the bus?
What is I will stand up take my people with me?
the way nitrogen bases pair up the order of the bases in each new DNA strand exactly matches the order in the original DNA
What makes proteins different from others?
The order or structure of amino acids.
Why is skin cancer so dangerous?
Your skin is the largest organ and has the easiest access to the blood stream, meaning the cancer could spread through the body rapidly
What carries amino acids to the ribosome and adds them to the growing protein to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
What is tRNA?
What was the book we read in 5th grade about the sister who has a brother with special needs?
What is RULES?
What forms the rungs on DNA?
What are NITROGEN BASES
WHat would happen to the cell in the DNA's information was lost or destroyed?
All cellular functions would be gone, traits will be lost, the organism could not live.
How do mutations affect an organism?
Mutations can cause a cell to produce an incorrect protein during protein synthesis. As a result the organism's trait may be different from what the original would be.
What are the molecules that contain nitrogen and other elements?
What are Nitrogen Bases?
What is the position in government where you have the ability to speak out on a public issue?
What is the bully pulpit?
How can a parent pass a trait such as eye color to its offspring?
It passes it through genes on a chromosome, and the genes are made of proteins.
How is DNA replication different from making mRNA?
DNA-double stranded, uses thymine, stays in the nucleus
mRNA-single stranded uses uracil, leaves the nucleus
What are the three types of mutations?
Insertion, Deletion, Substitution
What is the process in which an identical copy of DNA is formed for a new cell?
What is DNA replication?
What branch of government is the law making branch?
What is the legislative branch?
What are the start and stop codons?
AUG/MET
UAA,UAG,UGA
To a ribosome in the cytoplasm
How is cancer related to mutation and the cell cycle?
Cancer begins when mutation disrupt the usual cell cycle, causing the cells to divide in an uncontrollable way.
What is the definition of a tumor?
A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cells divide and grow uncontrollably
Who is the president pro tempro?
