Anything Goes
Lets Make Proteins
100
The monomer of DNA
What is a nucleotide?
100
It contains Thymine.
What is DNA?
100
These Unzip org break apart to separate the parent strands of DNA.
What is hydrogen bonds?
100
The three parts of a nucleotide.
What are the sugar group, phosphate group and the nitrogen base?
100
What a gene codes for.
What is a protein.
200
The sides of the DNA ladder.
What is the sugar-phosphate backbone?
200
It is single stranded.
What is RNA
200
AUG
What is a the start codon, Methionine?
200
Type of mutation that results in genes from one chromosome switch around and is now backwards
Inversion
200
used by scientists to determine amino acids from codons
What is the mRNA genetic code?
300
The 'rungs' of the DNA ladder
What are the nitrogen bases?
300
It is directly involved in translation.
What is RNA.
300
The complementary strand to ATGCAC? and the RNA strand?
What is TACGTG? and UACGUG
300
Type of mutation that adds or deletes nucleotides and result malformation of a protein. Much more dangerous than others.
Frameshift mutation
300
The two steps of protein synthesis.
What transcription and translation.
400
Its shape is like a twisted ladder, or this more scientific sounding description.
What is a double helix?
400
the monomer is a nucleotide.
What is DNA and RNA?
400
It helps form the covalent bonds between the sugar and phosphate groups on the new strands. Connects nucleotide backbones together.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
A sequence of 3 nitrogen bases that codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
400
It brings in the correct amino acids when a protein is being made.
What is transfer RNA.
500
Chargaff's Rules
What is A pairs with T AND G pairs with C?
500
It can be found in the nucleus and contains ribose
What is mRNA.
500
The end result is two DNA molecules each with one NEW and one OLD strand.
What is semi-conservative replication?
500
It was the project that figured out the sequence of nitrogen bases in a human's DNA.
What is the Human Genome Project?
500
Necessary because DNA can't leave the nucleus.
Why is messenger RNA necessary?
