100
The primary location of DNA
What is the nucleus?
100
The names of the four nitrogen bases found in RNA
What are A, U, G, and C? (adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine)
100
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
What is a Ribosome?
100
A mutation that replaces a nucleotide with a different nucleotide.
What is a substitution? (also called a point mutation)
100
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
200
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
200
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T C
What is U A G?
200
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
200
The type of mutation that occurs when one or more bases have been added.
What is an insertion?
200
This makes a genetically identical copy of an organism.
What is cloning?
300
The DNA must do this before it can by copied
What is unzip? (unwind and unzip is OK)
300
The number of strands in an RNA molecule
What is one?
300
This molecule brings amino acids to the ribosomes.
What is transfer RNA? (tRNA)
300
A mutation that removes one or more bases.
What is a deletion?
300
This technology allows identification of individuals and can show biological relationships.
What is DNA profiling? (or DNA fingerprinting)
400
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
400
These special types of proteins help to unzip DNA and match up complementary nucleotide bases to make mRNA during transcription.
What are enzymes?
400
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
400
The type of mutation shown in the diagram.
What is an inversion?
400
A disease that results in a change in the shape of hemoglobin in red blood cells due to a point mutation.
What is sickle cell anemia?
500
The reason why DNA must be copied before proteins can be made.
What is DNA must stay protected in the nucleus and proteins are made outside the nucleus in the ribosomes?
500
The bases that are different between DNA and RNA
What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
500
This is where transcription takes place
What is the nucleus?
500
All of these can be changed by a mutation.
What DNA, mRNA, and amino acid/protein?
500
Two scientists recently won the Nobel prize in chemistry for discovering this technique to edit genes easily.
What is CRISP/Cas9?
