DNA
Cytosine pairs with this base in DNA.
What is Guanine?
How many strands does RNA have?
What is single-stranded?
The stage of interphase that DNA replication occurs in.
What is the S phase?
The process of copying DNA into mRNA.
What is transcription?
I carry your code, but I’m not alive. I twist like a ladder and help you survive. What am I?
What is DNA?
Adenine pairs with this base in DNA.
What is Thymine?
In RNA, adenine pairs with this base.
What is Uracil?
This enzyme unzips DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds.
What is helicase?
The process of assembling proteins from mRNA instructions.
What is translation?
I unzip strands without a knife, helping copy the code of life. What am I?
What is helicase?
This structure describes the twisted ladder shape of DNA
What is a double helix?
This type of RNA carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes.
What is mRNA?
DNA replication is described as this because each new strand has one old and one new strand.
What is semiconservative model?
DAILY DOUBLE: Groups of three nucleotides that code for amino acids.
What are codons?
I read the message and bring the parts, helping build proteins from tiny starts. What am I?
What is tRNA?
What are the rungs of the double helix ladder made of?
What are nitrogenous bases?
This type of RNA makes up part of the ribosome.
What is rRNA?
This enzyme adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.
What is DNA polymerase?
This tool helps determine amino acids from mRNA sequences.
What is a codon wheel?
I hold plans so grand, but I’m locked away and rarely leave my land. What am I?
What is DNA?
The two strands of DNA are held together by these weak bonds.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
What is tRNA?
This enzyme glues fragments of DNA together.
What is ligase?
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis.
What is a ribosome?
I’m made of letters three at a time, telling cells how to build life’s rhyme. What am I?
What is a codon?
