100
Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
100
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
What is a base pair?
100
This would be the base pair for Adenine.
What is Uracil?
100
This enzyme unzips the DNA.
What is Helicase?
100
This is the name of a 3-base sequence of mRNA.
What is a codon?
200
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate combine to make up this molecule.
What is a Nucleotide?
200
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
What is the unwinding of DNA?
200
An error in the replication process is known as this.
What is a mutation?
200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200
This is the name for a 3-base sequence of tRNA.
What is an anticodon?
300
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond?
300
This parent strand is more difficult to copy into RNA.
What is Lagging Strand?
300
This type of RNA codes for the amino acids.
What is mRNA?
300
This is a product that can change genetic makeup of living organisms.
What is a Mutagen.
300
This mutation takes one portion of the chromosome out.
What is deletion?
400
This is the sugar that is found in a DNA molecules.
What is a deoxyribose?
400
This enzyme replaces uracil with thymine and completes the base pairs.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
This is the sugar that is found in RNA.
What is Ribose?
400
This enzyme finishes the replication process.
What is ligase?
400
This is a mutation where one base is changed, and all of the bases following move over one spot accordingly.
What is a frameshift mutation?
500
This is the common term for the sugar and phosphate in the DNA strand.
What is the "backbone"?
500
This is the process where an RNA copy is made from DNA.
What is Transcription?
500
This is the process where mRNA is converted in proteins.
What is Translation?
500
Bases are placed onto the new strands in this direction.
What is 5' to 3'?
500
DNA is an abbreviation for this term.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
