100

In DNA, Cytosine (C) always bonds with this nitrogenous base.

What is Guanine (G)?

100

This is the site of DNA replication in animal & plant cells.

What is the cell nucleus?

100

This is when DNA is coiled up & visible inside the cell.

What is a chromosome?

100

This is the number of hydrogen bonds between Cytosine and Guanine base pairs in a DNA molecule.


What are three bonds?


100

This is the macromolecule that includes DNA & RNA as examples.

What are nucleic acids?

200

This is the shape that the DNA molecule is described as.

What is a double helix, double spiral/coil, or a twisted ladder?

200

This is the name of the area when the DNA molecule is opened up by breaking the hydrogen bonds.

What is a replication fork or bubble?

200

This is the weaker bond that holds two nitrogenous base pairs together.

What is a hydrogen bond?

200
If a strand of DNA is TACG, this is the complementary strand.
What is ATGC?
200

This is the monomer for nucleic acids.

What is a nucleotide?

300
These two things make up the "backbone" of DNA.

What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?

300

The type/category of molecule that opens the strand of DNA or adds nucleotides to build DNA strands.

What is an enzyme?

300

This is the type of bond in the sugar-phosphate backbone.

What is a covalent bond?

300

This is the type of structure of both Adenine and Guanine nitrogenous bases.

What is a double-ring? 

or 

What are Purines?

300

Eukaryotic cells such as plant & animal cells have this organelle, which contains the DNA.

What is a nucleus?

400

This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains three molecules).

What is nucleotide?

400
During DNA replication, the complementary DNA strand for ACGTCC would be: 

What is TGCAGG? 

400

This is what the cell is preparing to do when DNA replication occurs.

What is cell division or replication?

400

A collection of DNA that is 32% Cytosine (C) will have this much Guanine (G).

What is 32%?

400

This is the organelle that is the site of protein synthesis.

What is a ribosome?

500

This is the 3 parts of a nucleotide.

What is phosphate, sugar, & nitrogen base?

500

This is the word used to describe the fact that at the end of this process each DNA molecule contains one old strand and one brand-new strand.

What is semi-conservative?

500

The location that mRNA goes to with its copy of the DNA message

Where is the ribosome?

500

A short segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein.


What is a gene?


500

This type of cell does not have an organelle that holds or stores DNA, but rather has it free-floating in the cytoplasm.

What is a Prokaryotic cell or Bacteria cell?
