DNA/RNA
RNA is a single....
helix
You have 46 of these in your cells.
chromosomes
Where the DNA is stored in the cell.
nucleus
Cell OR nucleus?
cell
When more DNA is made this is called what?
RNA has this nucleotide that DNA does not have.
Uracil (U)
adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine and uracil are called this..
base pairs or nucleotides
To make RNA from DNA.
Chromosome OR gene?
Chromosome
Where are the sugars and phosphates located in DNA?
On the backbone, outside.
Where is RNA found in the cell?
Segments of DNA that carry hereditary instructions and are passed from parent to offspring.
Genes
To make more DNA
replicate
Gene OR nucleotide?
Gene
Where are nucleotides located in a strand of DNA?
In the middle.
RNA is missing this nucleotide.
Two different forms of the same gene.
alleles
A sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and determines a trait.
Nucleotide OR double helix?
Double helix
What are the 4 nucleotides in DNA, spell them correctly.
adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
To make RNA from DNA is called what?
Transcription
A change in the nucleotide sequence that can benefit, have no effect, or harm an organism.
Mutation
The building blocks of proteins.
Amino acids
