100
These are the bases in DNA
What is Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine
100
This is the Y-shaped region that happens when DNA strands separate
What is the replication fork
100
This is where transcription takes place in eukaryotes
What is the nucleus
100
This 3 nucleotide sequence in mRNA codes for a specific amino acid
What is a codon
100
These people made the first model of DNA
Who is James Watson and Francis Crick
200
This states that cytosine pairs with guanine and adenine pairs with thymine
What is the base-pairing rule
200
This "unzips" the DNA
What are the helicases
200
This is where transcription happens in prokaryotes
What is the cytoplasm
200
These are nucleotides on tRNA complementary to codons on mRNA
What is an anticodon
200
This person discovered that DNA is responsible for transformations in bacteria
Who is Oswald Avery
300
They are the four bases in DNA
What is What is Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine
300
This enzyme adds complementary nucleotides to one strand of an already made DNA strand
What are DNA polymerases
300
This enzyme adds free nucleotides complementary to the ones in DNA
What is the RNA polymerase
300
This is the amino acid that matches with the mRNA code AUG and starts polypeptide chains
What is methionine
300
This is the complete genetic content of a human
What is the genome
400
These are the two types of bases
What is Purines and Pyrimidines
400
This is a type of replication that makes DNA where one strand is from the original and the other is newly made DNA
What is semi-conservative replication
400
This is the specific sequence of nucleotides that is at the end of a gene
What is the termination signal
400
These are the mRNA stop codons that tell the ribosome to stop translation
What are the codons UAA, UAG, and UGA
400
This person discovered the base-pairing rules
Who is Erwin Chargaff
500
These bases are Purines and have two rings
What is Adenine and Guanine
500
This is a specific nucleotide sequence where the RNA polymerase binds to to start transcription
What is the promoter
500
This type of RNA has anticodons on one end and an amino acid on the other
What is tRNA
500
This person helped Rosalind Franklin take an X-Ray picture of DNA that showed the double helix shape
Who is Maurice Wilkins
