RNA vs. DNA
100
This is the monomer of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide?
100
Rosalind Franklin used this method to take photos of DNA
What is X-ray imaging/diffraction?
100
This type of mutation results when a stop codon is coded prematurely in an amino acid chain.
What is a “NON-SENSE” mutation 
100
This is the total number of amino acids.
»What 20? 
100
»These are the types of sugars found in DNA and RNA.
»What are deoxyribose (DNA) and ribose (RNA)?
200
This is the 3 part structure of a nucleotide (Be specific)
What is a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous base?
200
This is what Watson and Crick were able to discover after they analyzed the DNA X-ray photo
What is the double helix structure of DNA?
200
This type of mutation occurs when a change in the DNA causes one amino acid to code for a different amino acid.
»What is a missense mutation.
200
The type of bond that holds together the nitrogen bases
»What are hydrogen bonds?
200
»This is the nitrogenous base found in RNA that replaces thymine.
»What is uracil?
300
These are the 4 nitrogenous bases found in DNA.
What are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine?
300
This type of genetic mutation disrupts this normal reading frame of the DNA sequence and is caused by a deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence. It can often disrupt a long segment of the DNA.
What is a FRAMESHIFT MUTATION?
300
»The name of the process in which DNA makes a copy of itself right before mitosis.
»What is replication?
300
The type of bond found between amino acids in a protein.
What are Peptides?
300
»These are the 3 types of RNA found in our cells.
»What are mRNA, rRNA and tRNA?
400
These two parts of the nucleotide make up the sides to the structure.
What are the sugar and phosphate group?
400
Okazaki Fragments, named after the scientist, Reiji Okazaki, are made on the 5’ to 3’ or “lagging strand” during this process in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself.
What is REPLICATION?
400
»The step that occurs after transcription and before translation that eliminates introns.
»What is RNA editing or splicing?
400
»During translation, the tRNA molecules transfer these to the ribosomes.
»What are amino acids?
400
The term used to describe THREE nitrogen bases in a row on an mRNA molecule.
What are codons?
500
A sequence of three nitrogen bases that are found on the tRNA molecule.
What is an anti-codon?
500
The date in which James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the model of DNA. YEAR only OK.
What is February 28, 1953
500
»This is a change in the DNA sequence and could cause problems.
»What is a mutation?
500
»This is where transcription takes place inside the cell.
»What is in the nucleus?
500
»This is the correct DNA sequence that is complimentary to this RNA = CUAAUGU?
»What is GATTACA?
