Changes in genetic material
What is a Mutation
What is the shape of DNA
Double Helix
The DNA sequence ACT codes for what Amino Acid
a Stop Codon
What are 4 differences between DNA & RNA
DNA
Deoxyribose, Double Stranded, Nucleus, Thymine, 1 type
RNA
Ribose, Single Stranded, Moves throughout cell, Uracil, 3 Types
What do you call the process of making more DNA
DNA replication
What type of mutation is it when a single base is changed in the DNA sequence
Point Mutation
What female didn't get credit for the Structure of DNA until after she died
Rosalind Franklin
The process of going from mRNA into the amino acids at the ribosome is know as?
Translation
What are the three types of RNA & what do they stand for?
mRNA - Messenger
tRNA- Transfer
rRNA- Ribosomal RNA
What kind of bond links amino acids together?
Peptide
What is a Silent Mutation
When one base changes, but it does not change the amino acid
What 3 parts make up a nucleotide.
A sugar, a phosphate, a nitrogenous base (A,T,C,G,U)
What is the complementary strand of mRNA : GCTATG
CGAUAC
What do you call every 3 base pairs in tRNA
Anti-codon
What is the monomer of a protein
Amino Acid
What type of mutation is it when one base is Added or Removed (Insertion & Deletion)
Frameshift Mutation
What are the 3 base pairing rules?
A-T
C-G
A-U
The process of making a strand of mRNA from DNA that happens within the nucleus
What is transcription
Describe the process of protein synthesis
mRNA is made from DNA in the nucleus -Transcription
mRNA travels from the nucleus to the ribosome where it links with tRNA carrying the anti-codon and the amino acids that correspond to the codon in the mRNA
- Translation
What Amino Acid does the mRNA codon AUG code for?
Methionine (MET)/ Start Codon
Normal DNA:
CAT TGA GGC CTA
Mutated DNA: (which type of mutation is this)
CAT TGA GGA CTA
Silent Mutation

Apple does fall far from the Tree
Car goes in the Garage
What is the full name of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
What do you call every 3 base pairs in mRNA
Codon
Where are proteins made?
Ribosome
