It takes 8 hours
Where is DNA found in the cell?
What is the nucleus?
Where does Translation happen?
What is the cytoplasm?
Where does Transcription happen?
What is the nucleus?
What are Introns?
What are sections of RNA transcript that don't contain information?
How many strands of DNA are produced after replication?
Two strands
What are the four bases of DNA?
What is adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), & thymine (T).
What is Translation?
What unzips the DNA during transcription?
What is the enzyme helicase?
What guides a cells growth and function?
What is DNA?
What is Replication?
What is the process by which the genome's DNA is copied in cells?
True or False?
Humans share about 50% of our genes with plants.
True
What is needed for DNA translation?
What is mRNA, ribosomes, and transfer RNA (tRNA)?
What is Transcription?
What is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence?
What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
What is a nitrogen-containing base, a H sugar, and a phosphate group?
Why is DNA replication so important?
It is required for the growth, repair, and regeneration of tissues in living organisms.
How much DNA is in each human? (Hint: In miles)
What is 10 billion miles?
What are Anticondons?
What is the unattached base that creates proteins?
What are the three stages of transcription?
What is Initiation, Elongation, & Termination?
True or False?
DNA is called an acid.
True
What are the steps of Replication?
- Recognition of initiation point
- Unwinding of DNA
- Template DNA
- RNA Primer
- Chain Elongation
- Replication Forks
- Proof reading
-Removal of RNA primer and completion of DNA strand
Can DNA evolve?
DNA has been evolving over millions of years.
What happens after DNA is transfered?
It turns into a series of amino acids bound together with peptide bonds.
When transcription is completed what happens to the messenger RNA
It leaves the nucleus and goes into the cytoplasm.
What are Exons?
What are sections of RNA that code for the proteins?
