DNA/RNA
This sugar is found in DNA but not in RNA.
What is deoxyribose?
This type of RNA is produced as the product of transcription.
What is mRNA?
This cell structure is the site where translation occurs.
What is the ribosome?
This type of biological molecule most enzymes are made of.
What is a protein?
This field of biotechnology focuses on improving crops and food production.
What is green (agricultural) biotechnology?
This process uses a DNA template to make an RNA molecule.
What is transcription?
This nucleotide base replaces thymine when RNA is built during transcription.
What is Uracil?
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
What is tRNA?
This part of the enzyme binds to the substrate.
What is the active site?
This biotechnology application allows scientists to insert a gene from one organism into another organism.
What is Genetic engineering?
In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, but in RNA adenine pairs with this base instead.
What is Uracil?
This is the complementary mRNA sequence transcribed from the DNA sequence: TAC.
What is AUG?
This three-base sequence on mRNA codes for a specific amino acid.
What is a codon?
This term describes how an enzyme speeds up a reaction by lowering the energy needed to start it.
What is the activation energy?
This tool is used to cut DNA at specific sequences in biotechnology.
What are restriction enzymes?
This type of bond holds complementary nitrogen bases together across the DNA.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This is the location of the process of Transcription.
What is the nucleus?
This sequence on tRNA is complementary to an mRNA codon.
What is an anticodon?
These environmental factors can change an enzyme’s shape.
What are temperature and pH?
A major benefit of genetically modified crops is increased yield and pest resistance, while a common concern is this potential environmental effect.
What is reduced biodiversity?
What are the three characteristics of the DNA molecule?
What is antiparallel, complementary, and reading 5' 3'?
Region of the nucleus that allows the mRNA to leave.
What is the nuclear pore?
This is the final product of Translation.
What is a polypeptide chain?
Four characteristics of enzymes.
What are reusable, specific, names end in -ase, and can be denatured?
This medical biotechnology product is made using genetically modified bacteria to treat people with diabetes.
What is insulin?
