proteins are made of these

amino acids

100

This is what pairs with Adenine (A) in DNA

Thymine (T)

100

how many different types of amino acids there are

20

100

If this protein isn't working, mutations might not be fixed during DNA replication

p53

100

a set of 3 bases in tRNA

anti-codon

200

this aspect of a protein is what makes it work, or not work  (whether its can perform its function or not)

it's shape

200

this is the "master blueprint" / has the instructions to make proteins

DNA

200

the number of chromosomes that humans have (normally)

46
200

When there is an incorrect base-pair match in DNA, it is called a 

mutation

200
the process of making a copy of a gene in the form of an mRNA strand

transcription

300

this organelle is where proteins are assembled (translation) 

ribosome

300

DNA gets copied into this, during transcription

mRNA

300
a codon is a set of ____ nitrogen bases in _______

3,  mRNA

300

If a damaged cell with mutations is able to bypass the checkpoints of the cell cycle, this can be the result

cancer

300

this process must occur before more cells can be produced for mitosis or meiosis

DNA replication

400

TRUE or FALSE:  Proteins are responsible for the outward traits of a person and how their body functions

True

400

is the "builder" molecule that assembles amino acids together to make a protein

tRNA

400

The #1 most frequently diagnosed type of cancer in 2018 in the U.S.

Female breast cancer

400

The reason that a protein might not be able to do its job correctly

it has the wrong shape

400

these structures are made of supercoiled DNA and are found in pairs in the nucleus of our cells

chromosomes

500

Whichone thing in this list is NOT a protein?  

Insulin, hemoglobin, sucrose, catalase, p53, antibodies

sucrose is NOT a protein (it's a type of carbohydrate)

500

in order to "untwist" this and "unzip" this molecule, hydrogen bonds must be broken by this enzyme

Helicase

500

The number of identical daughter cells produced at the end of cell division/mitosis

2

500

The reason that some people don't have a working p53 protein in their cells.

They have gene mutation in the p53 gene, and the protein doesn't have the right shape

500

the entire process of transcription + translation is called...

protein synthesis
