The scientists who created the double helix model of DNA.
Who are James Watson and Francis Crick?
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 T C G C A G T
What is U A A G C G U C A
200
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
200
This category of molecule was shown NOT to enter bacterial cells in Hershey and Chase's experiments with bacteriophages, supporting the idea that DNA, instead of it, was the hereditary material.
What is Protein?
200
The bonds that link amino acids together.
What are peptide bonds?
300
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
300
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
300
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
What is transfer RNA?
300
She died of cancer before Watson & Crick received the Nobel Prize, therefore was never fairly recognized for her contribution to the discovery of DNA structure.
Who was Rosalind Franklin?
300
These special types of enzymes help to unzip DNA.
What are helicases?
400
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
400
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
400
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
400
This term, defined as the passage of genetic material from one cell to another, was first used by Griffith in his experiment with mice to describe the change he saw when he mixed dead S cells with live R cells.
What is transformation?
400
Uracil is an example of this category of nitrogenous base?
What is a pyrimidine?
500
The reason why DNA replication happens.
What is to pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division?
500
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
500
This is the anticodon for CAG
What is GUC?
500
The year that Watson & Crick discovered the structure of DNA.
What is 1953?
