What is We don't know because we need a codon table. We won't ever need to memorize that.
100
The process of transcription occurs in this cell organelle.
What is Nucleus
100
A section of DNA that contains the information for building a protein is known as this.
What is Gene
100
The process of translation occurs at this cell organelle.
What is Ribosome
100
How many types of bases are found in a DNA molecule?
What is 4
200
To prevent knotting or tangling, DNA is wound up into larger structures known as...
What is Chromsosomes
200
In order for transcription to occur, what is the first thing that DNA must do?
What is It must unzip, separate at the bases.
200
This type of nucleic acid copies the DNA code and brings it to another part of the cell.
What is mRNA (messenger RNA)
200
When the mRNA attaches to the ribosome, what other molecule attaches to it, bringing important building materials with it?
What is Transfer RNA (tRNA)
200
The four types of bases in DNA are A, C, G, and...
What is T-Thymine
300
How many possible codons are there?
What is 64
300
If a DNA code reads "AGT GTC CCG" what would the corresponding RNA code be?
What is UCA CAG GGC
300
DNA and RNA differ because DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded, and that DNA contains T bases and RNA contains these bases instead.
U-uracil
300
The tRNA can only attach to the mRNA by 3 bases at a time. What is the term for 3 bases of mRNA?
What is Codon
300
DNA contains coded instructions for building what type of molecule?
What is Proteins
400
Since DNA replication results in two molecules that each contain a strand from the original, DNA replication can be described by this two-word adjective.
What is Semi-Conservative
400
During transcription, the DNA code is converted into another molecule. What is the name of that molecule?
What is Messenger RNA (mRNA)
400
This molecule, which contains a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base, is the basic building block of any nucleic acid.
What is Nucleotide
400
What is the term for a long molecule made entirely of amino acids?
What is Protein
400
In prokraryotes, DNA is free-floating in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, DNA is contained in the...
What is Nucleus
500
How many different amino acids are there?
What is 20
