100
In DNA, C always bonds with _____.
What is G?
100

This is the site of DNA replication in a eukaryotic cell.

What is the nucleus

100

The region of DNA on a chromosome that is transcribed is called this

What is a gene

100

The organelle of translation in a cell

What is a ribosome

100

The repetitive ends of linear, eukaryotic chromosomes are these

What are telomeres

200
This is the SHAPE DNA is described as.
What is double helix?
200

The purpose of replication.

What is to produce 2 identical strands of DNA?

200

What is the molecule produced in Transcription

What is RNA?

200

The product of translation is...(what translation makes)

What is a protein?

200

The health and length of these structures may impact aging, stem cell therapies, and the formation of cancerous cells

What are telomeres

300
These two things make up the "backbone" of DNA.

What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?

300

The enzyme that opens/unzips the two strands of DNA.

What is helicase

300

The sequence of codons in the mRNA (or messenger RNA) can determine this

What is the sequence of amino acids in a protein

300

The molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome by matching up complementary codons.

What is tRNA?

300

Telomeres may experience this after DNA replication

What is telomere shortening

400

This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains 3 parts)

What is nucleotide?

400

DNA replication is required before this very important cell event.

What is cell division

400

These two conditions can impact transcription of a gene

What are transcription factors and chromatin structure (euchromatin or heterochromatin)

400

This process occurs between the codons of mRNA and the anticodons of tRNA

What is complementary base pairing

400

This enzyme can prevent telomere shortening

What is telomerase

500

The orientation of the two strands of DNA in a double helix is this.

What is antiparallel

500

The enzyme that adds nucleotides to DNA.

What is DNA polymerase?

500

The name of the enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing RNA during transcription

What is RNA polymerase

500

This binds to a stop codon (such as UAA, UAG, or UGA)

What is a release factor

500

It causes telomeres to get shorter after DNA replication in the absence of telomerase

What is DNA polymerase only polymerizes in one direction
