Where does it happen?
Misc.
100
Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
100
This is what results from replicating one "parent" molecule of DNA
What are two "daughter" molecules of DNA?
100
A long, single stranded sequence of RNA formed from a single strand of DNA. (Use full name)
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100
RNA differs from DNA because it only has ________ compared to the two found in DNA.
What is one strand?
200
The sugars and the phosphates form the ________.
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?
200
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
What is the unwinding of DNA?
200
This is where mRNA created from a DNA template takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200
This is the sugar found in RNA.
What is ribose?
300
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond?
300
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
What is a base pair?
300

This type of RNA serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins. (Use full name)

What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?

300
This is where protein production takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
300
With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.
What is U (uracil)?
400
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
400

The enzyme that "unzips" the double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied.

What is Helicase
400
This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
400

This is the sugar found in DNA.

What is deoxyribose?
500
He is credited with the discovery that the amount of G's was roughly equal to the amount of C's (and A's with T's) in several samples of DNA.
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
500

The enzyme that is used to add the free floating nucleotides to the new copy of a DNA molecule.

What is DNA Polymerase?

500

This type of RNA forms part of the protein-synthesizing organelle known as a ribosome and is exported to the cytoplasm to help translate the information in mRNA into protein. (Use full name)

What is ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

500
When mRNA is transcribed from DNA, it then slips through these to get into the cytoplasm.
What are the nuclear pores?
500

The central dogma of molecular biology can be summarized as:

_______ --> _______ --> _______

What is DNA --> RNA --> Protein.
