DNA
DNA stands for:
What is deoxyribonucleic acid
In RNA, thymine is replaced with:
What is uracil
A mutation where the entire chromosome is affected
What is chromosomal mutation
I am created in the nucleus but take my message out to the cytoplasm
What is mRNA
They discovered the structure of DNA
What is Watson and Crick
Complete this sequence: A T C T G C A
What is T A G A C G T
mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to these in order to make proteins
What is ribosome
What is the 3 base code called
What is a codon
Proteins are made up of
What is amino acids
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is double stranded helix
When DNA copies itself and makes another copy of DNA
What is replication
The process of copying a section of DNA into RNA
What is transcription
They are the 4 bases in DNA.
What is adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine.
These are the 3 types of RNA
What is messenger, transfer, & ribosomal or mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
Ribose, a phosphate group and a nitrogen base
What is RNA
DNA that is tightly wound around proteins and resemble an X
What is a chromosome
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome in order to make proteins
What is tRNA
When one base in a sequence of DNA is changed
What is a point mutation
This enzyme binds to the DNA in order to unzip and make the mRNA
What is RNA polymerase
When mRNA leaves the nucleus, attaches to a ribosome, is decoded by tRNA, and pops off a completed protein
What is translation
To carry genetic information and serve as a template for new DNA and RNA
What is the purpose of DNA
Transcription changes ACTGAGCCC
What is UGACUCGGG.
When a base is inserted or deleted from a sequence of DNA
What is frameshift mutation
When RNA decodes the nucleic acids into the amino acid language.
What is translation
The enzyme that zips and proofreads the old an new strand of DNA.
What is DNA polymerase.
