DNA
Adenine always pairs with this base
What is thymine?
This base is found in RNA, but not in DNA
What is Uracil?
Proteins are made when mRNA translates to amino acids in this organelle
What is a ribosome?
DNA is found in this part of the cell
What is the nucleus?
What is GAG?
The backbone of the DNA molecule is made of these two parts
What are phosphates and sugars?
The number of strands in RNA
What is one? (What is single stranded?)
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome
What is tRNA? (transfer RNA)
This base is not found in RNA, but it is found in DNA
What is thymine?
A change in DNA could result in a change in this building block of protein
What is an amino acid?
Guanine always pairs with this base
What is cytosine?
This is the process where mRNA copies a section of DNA
What is transcription?
These structures are created by chains of amino acids
What are proteins?
What is deoxyribose?
Each person has a copy of this molecule which carries their genetic code in every cell of their body
What is DNA?
The shape of DNA
What is a double helix?
The process in which mRNA is changed to an amino acid
What is translation?
A change in DNA is called this
What is a mutation?
This sugar is found in RNA
What is ribose?
You received your DNA from this source
What is the egg and sperm that made you?
These bases are found in DNA
What are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine?
This building block of protein is coded for by three bases
True or false? DNA has a code that is copied by mRNA and then the ribosome determines the amino acids that assemble the protein
What is true?
The structure of a protein is determined by the structure of this molecule
What is DNA?
Humans typically have this number of chromosomes
What is 46? OR What is 23 pairs?
