The Structure of DNA
These are the components of nucleotides that make up the "backbone" of DNA and RNA strands.
sugar-phosphate
Double Jeoaprdy: This is the purpose of transcription.
Convert DNA into mRNA
Quadruple Jeopardy: These are a few words describing the product(s) of translation.
protein, polypeptide, amino acid chain, etc
These are the four types of mutations.
substitution, insertion, deletion, nonsense
These are the two types of eukaryotic cells.
Plant and Animal
Double Jeopardy: These are the full names of the nitrogenous bases found in DNA.
Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine
These are the three types of RNA.
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
This term describes the group of three nucleotides that identifies the amino acid to be used in a protein.
codon
This type of mutation has a high chance of shifting the codons of an mRNA sequence (making it a more dangerous type of mutation).
Insertion or deletion
homeostasis
RNA replaces thymine with this alternative nitrogenous base.
uracil
Double Jeopardy: This is the mRNA sequence generated from a DNA strand of TAT ATC GGC.
AUA UAG CCG
This is the amino acid translated from the following mRNA strand: UCA
Serine (Ser)
This type of mutation results in a premature stop codon.
Nonsense
This cellular organelle is the site of cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
Triple Jeopardy: This force of attraction holds the strands of DNA together, reinforcing the double helix shape.
hydrogen bonding
This is the DNA sequence that transcibed the following mRNA: UCC CGA AUA
AGG GCT TAT
Triple Jeopardy: This is the mRNA sequence responsible for the polypeptide chain of Met-Tyr-Met
AUG UAU (or UAC) AUG
Double Jeopardy: This is the type of mutation that changed the DNA sequence from GGG CGC to GGG CCC.
Substitution
This step in the Scientific Method is known as an educated guess to the problem/question.
hypothesis
Quadruple Jeopardy: This designation describes what is hanging off the ends of DNA/RNA, either the sugar or the phosphate group.
5' (sugar) and 3' (phosphate group)
Quadruple Jeopardy: This type of RNA is used as a structural component of ribosomes.
rRNA
Quadruple Jeopardy: This is the tRNA strand derived from the DNA sequence TTT TCG GGG
UUU UCG GGG
This mutation caused the DNA to change from AAA AAA AAA to AAA AAA AA
Deletion
Quadruple Jeopardy: This is the Proficiency Scale we are testing on tomorrow.
