This principle tells us A binds with T and C binds with G.
What is complimentary base pairing?
100
The three nucleotides on tRNA which bind to the codon of the mRNA message are called this.
What is an anticodon?
100
By studying dog breeding, Darwin noticed breeders could choose desired traits leading to him to hypothesized the environment could also do "this" to traits.
What is select?
100
This a mechanism which drives evolution.
What is 1 of 3 mechanisms?
100
This type of sequence is removed from the pre-mRNA.
What is an intron?
200
A group of three nucleotides encoding for an amino acid is called this.
What is a codon?
200
This type of mutation results when one amino acid replaces another amino acid in the protein.
What is a missense mutation?
200
This type of natural selection occurs when one extreme phenotype becomes more likely in a population.
What is directional?
200
This is another mechanism which drives evolution.
What is 1 of the 3 mechanisms?
200
This enzyme is primarily responsible for DNA replication?
What is DNA polymerase?
300
This base is found in RNA but not in DNA and taking the place of thymine in mRNA.
What is uracil (U)?
300
This type of mutation occurs when a stop codon replaces an amino acid in the protein.
What is nonsense mutation?
300
This type of natural selection occurs when two extreme phenotypes become more likely than the intermediate phenotype in a population?
What is disruptive?
300
This is the change in allele frequency in a population over a few generations.
What is microevolution?
300
The amino acids encoded for by each codon is referred to as this.
What is the genetic code?
400
This would be transcribed mRNA from the template DNA: TAGCAT?
What is AUCGUA?
400
Transcription and translation are stated to be this in prokaryotic cells because they can take place at the same time.
What is coupled?
400
The general definition of the word "this" word compared to the scientific definition is probably why people may dismiss its importance..
What is theory?
400
These two equations can be used to determine if a population is evolving.
What is p + q = 1 and p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 ?
400
"This" explains how information is stored and transferred in cells.
What is the Central Dogma of Biology?
500
In eukaryotic cells, the transcription unit is modified prior to translation in this process?
What is RNA splicing or processing?
500
This amino acid is always the first amino acid in a protein?
What is Met?
500
This is an example of how humans are currently evolving.
What is their immune system, altitude tolerance, etc.?
500
White flowers are completely recessive compared to purple flowers. Within a population, there are 35 white flowers and 65 purple flowers. What are the frequencies of the purple and white alleles?
What is .41 for the purple allele and .59 for the white allele?
500
Scientists were surprised to find only around 23,000 genes in the human genome. A number is similar to the number of genes in chickens and nematodes. "This" process may explain why there were far fewer genes than expected.
What is RNA splicing?
