Messenger RNA
What is mRNA?
100
Adenosine, Gaunine, Cytosine, and Thymine.
What are the four types of nucleotide?
100
True or False: DNA leaves the nucleus.
False. DNA is too large to leave the nucleus.
100
What is the purpose of Protein Synthesis?
What is to make proteins?
100
What are the three types of mutations?
What are Substitution, Insertation and Deletion mutations?

Transfer RNA
What is tRNA?
200
1 Phosphate group, 1 deoxyribose sugar, and 1 nitrogen base.
What is a nucleotide made of?
200
What is the proper name of DNA?
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
200
Why are proteins important?
Proteins are important because they provide protection, structure, transport important things, and are important in our survival.

400
Ribonucleic Acid
What does RNA stand for?

What nitrogen base is in tRNA but not in mRNA?
What is Uracil?
400
Only 3% of this is used in Protein Synthesis.
What is DNA?
400
What are the 3 steps of Protein Synthesis?
What are Replication, Transcription, and Translation?
400
Could mutations be good AND bad?
Yes because some mutations can let the organism have a better chance of survival, while other mutations do not.
500
An enzyme that produces RNA
What is RNA Polymerase?

What makes up the backbone that composes DNA?
What is alternating phosphates and sugar molecules?
500
How is a complementary strand useful for protein synthesis?
What is to show the template for it to follow.
500
How does mutations lead to variations within species?
What is producing random changes in the genetic code that can be too much or too little of what that organism needs to survive?
