100
Some cancers begin when this crucial molecule becomes damaged.
What is DNA?
200
The two sub-molecules that make up the "backbone" or sides of the "ladder" in DNA.
What are phosphate and deoxyribose?
200
Each new strand of DNA is composed of one original strand (parent strand) and one of these.
What is the daughter strand?
200
Process in which mRNA copies DNA and where it takes place.
What is transcription and nucleus?
200
20 of these make up thousands and thousands of different proteins.

200
Uncontrolled cell growth can result in the formation of these (this).
What are tumors, cancer or (cancerous tumors)?
300
A sequence of DNA nucleotides that codes for a specific protein.
What is a gene?
300
Bonds that hold nitrogen bases together.
What are hydrogen bonds?
300
64 combinations of three-base codons.

These two men are credited with figuring out the shape & structure of DNA.
Who are James Watson and Francis Crick?
400
Genes are located at (random, specific) places on a chromosome.
What is specific?
400
Function of mRNA.
What is copies and carries the genetic code from DNA into the cytoplasm?
400
Determined by the order of nitrogen bases (codons).
What are specific proteins (or order of amino acids)?
400
The use of drugs to treat cancer or prevent the recurrence of cancer.
What is chemotherapy?
500
This monomer is composed of a phosphate, deoxyribose (sugar) and a nitrogen base.
What is a nucleotide?
500
Hydrogen bonds unzip and nitrogen bases pair up with complementary bases to form a new strand of DNA.
What is DNA replication?
500
Differences between RNA and DNA (three).

500
Chromosomes are made of these two types of molecules.
What are DNA and proteins?
500
Three mistakes that can cause mutation.
What are deletion, addition and substitution?
