Replication
The process of creating new DNA using old DNA as a template
What is replication?
The process of transferring genetic information from DNA to RNA
What is transcription?
The process of reading mRNA to create a polypeptide
What is translation?
Mutations may result from errors by DNA polymerase or [BLANK]
What is mutagens?
[BLANK] are a type of noncellular infectious agent
What is viruses?
Watson and Crick are credited with discovering the DNA double-helix; whose data did they use?
What is Rosalind Franklin?
Before leaving the nucleus, mRNA must undergo [BLANK]
What is processing?
There is one start codon, and this many stop codons
What is three?
These are the two main types of mutations
What is substitutions and insertions/deletions?
This is a virus that attacks bacteria
What is bacteriophage?
The process of replication is facilitated by this enzyme
What is DNA polymerase?
The process of transcription is facilitated by this enzyme
What is RNA polymerase?
Organisms with genes inserted from other species
What is transgenic organisms?
This type of mutation is usually harmless
What is silent?
This was the first virus ever discovered
What is the tobacco mosaic virus?
What is semiconservative?
When being processed, mRNA has these two things added
What is a cap and tail?
The process of translation is carried out by [BLANK]
What is ribosomes?
Silent mutations are possible due to this characteristic of the genetic code
What is redundancy?
Viruses, while not considered alive, are still reproductive agents that have [BLANK] and [BLANK]
What is DNA or RNA and protein coat?
DNA polymerase both replicates DNA, and [BLANK]
What is repair damaged DNA?
During mRNA processing, [BLANK] are removed and [BLANK] are spliced together
What is introns and exons?
This molecule matches the codons of mRNA with its anticodon
What is tRNA?
Insertions/deletions affect the polypeptide being built by changing this
What is the codon reading frame?
COVID-19 is an [BLANK] virus
What is RNA?
