DNA
What is the full name of DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Describe the function of RNA.
Carries the message/instructions of the DNA beyond the nucleus so that proteins can be made.
Which step of the central dogma is where DNA makes a copy of itself.
Replication
What is the amino acid that corresponds to the codon AGA?
Arg
Which two parts of the Central Dogma are responsible for gene expression?
Transcription and Translation
Describe the function/purpose of DNA in organisms.
Genetic Blueprint; Provides the instructions that will eventually make proteins
What is the full name of RNA?
Ribonucleic acid
This process turns mRNA into a protein.
Translation
A three-nucleotide sequence.
A codon
Why is DNA replication called a "semi-conservative" process?
What are the three components of DNA?
Deoxyribose, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.
The full names for the three different types of RNA
Messenger RNA
Transfer RNA
Ribosomal RNA
Name the three enzymes involved in DNA replication and describe their function.
Helicase: unzipping
Ligase: Sealing
Telomerase: Recoiling to double helix shape
20 of these things will be linked to form the macromolecule known as a protein.
amino acids
A ribosome makes a protein containing 60 amino acids. The corresponding mRNA consists of at least how many codons?
20 codons
Who received the Nobel Prize for their work on the structure of DNA?
James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins.
What is the four nucleotide bases of RNA?
Adenine, Guanine, Cystosine, and Uracil
Which part takes place within the cytoplasm?
Transcription
Write the complementary RNA sequence of the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C A G T
UAAGCGUCA
Write the complementary strand of the DNA
DNA: AGCGCATTAGCAAT

What cell organelle makes protein?
Ribosomes
Write the correct amino acid sequence for these codons: AUG AGC AUA CAU GCA UGA
Met, Ser, lle, His, Ala, STOP
What are the three steps of Replication, Transcription, and Translation.
Initiation, Elongation, and Termination
