What makes up the backbone of DNA? (Part of the nucleotide that doesn't change)
The phosphate and sugar
200
What nitrogenous base does RNA have that DNA doesn't? Is it a purine or pyrimadine?
URACIL
Pyrimadine!
200
If a DNA strand reads:
ATC-ATA-TTT
What would the mRNA read?
UAG-UAU-AAA
200
Where is DNA found in Eukaryotes? Prokaryotes?
Eukaryotes = Nucleus
Prokaryotes = Nucleoid region

What type of bonds hold two nucleotides together? Are these bonds strong or weak?
HYDROGEN!
Considered to be weak bonds.
300
A DNA sample is analyzed and you find that 22% is cytosine, how much thymine would you expect in the sample?
28%
300
Once mRNA leaves the nucleus, transcription has occurred.
to find a ribosome (rRNA)
300
What is the shape of DNA in Eu? Pro?
Linear (eu)
Circular (pro)

Which nitrogenous bases are purines (double ring structure)? Pyrimidines (single ring structure)?
400
If a sample strand of DNA reads:
5' ATC-GTG-CCC 3'
What would the sister strand read? Be sure to include directionality.
3' TAG-CAC-GGG 5'
400
If mRNA reads:
AUA-AAU-AUA-CCG-GUC
How many amino acids are coded for by this strand?
FIVE
400
Which is older? Pro or Eu?
PROKARYOTES

What's the name of this song?
Bubbly
500
DNA has directionality. Both strands run antiparallel to each other. What functional group can be found on the 5' end and the 3' end?
5' phosphate
3' hydroxyl
500
DNA only grows by adding nucleotides to the (3' or 5') end. Explain your answer!
3'
A hydroxyl group is on the 3' end which goes through dehydration synthesis with the 5' phosphate group
500
If an mRNA strand reads ACU. What would the tRNA anticodon read that would bring the correct amino acid to the rRNA? What amino acid would the tRNA be carrying?
UGA
ILE
500
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
An acient eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (cholorplast or mitochondria) and developed a mutalistic relationship.
