Viruses cannot replicate unless they enter a ______.
What is host?
What molecule is the IMMEDIATE product of transcription?
what is RNA?
The sequence RNA polymerase binds to before transcription starts is the _____.
What is Promoter?
Which molecule reads codons during translation?
what is tRNA (via anticodon).
What part of the Central Dogma is directly affected first by any mutation?
what is RNA
What viral component determines which cells a virus can infect?
what is spikes?
What molecule serves as the bridge between genotype and phenotype?
what is protein?
Which strand has the same sequence as mRNA (except T → U)?
what is coding?
What sequence signals the ribosome to STOP translation?
what is stopcodon?
A mutation changes the reading frame, but only AFTER the ribosome passes the start codon.
What ONE process becomes completely scrambled because of this?
what is Translation?
A virus inserts its DNA into the host chromosome. What cycle is this?
what is lysogenic?
What determines the EXACT order of amino acids in a protein?
what is codons?
What direction does RNA polymerase READ the DNA strand?
what is three-to-five?
What property of the code explains why multiple codons give the same amino acid?
what is redundancy?
A DNA change causes:
• altered mRNA
• altered amino acids
• altered folding
• altered activity
• altered trait
These steps together represent what key biological concept?
what is phenotype?
What SINGLE property explains why RNA viruses evolve so quickly?
what is Errors?
A mutation changes a protein and therefore changes the trait. What biological level has ultimately changed?
what is Phenotype?
What single factor ultimately determines where transcription starts?
what is posiotioning?
What one-word concept explains why mutations in the 3rd nucleotide often don’t matter?
what is Wobble?

what is allele?
A viral infection that bursts the host cell is described as ______.
what is lytic?
If transcription occurs normally but NO protein forms, what process failed?
what is translation?
