200
DNA is copied onto a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
200
This enzyme separates DNA strands
What is helicase?
200
The bonds that form between nitrogenous bases
What are hydrogen bonds?
300
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
300
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?

The number of bases that code for one amino acid
What is three?
300
Other enzymes are involved in DNA replication for this reason
What is to eliminate incorrectly paired bases?
300
The percentage of guanine, if a sample of DNA has 40% cytosine
What is 40%?
400
Two processes that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
400
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
400
A chain of amino acids
What is a polypeptide?
400
These are the 4 steps of DNA replication
1) DNA enters replication fork while helicase enzymes begin to separate DNA strands
2) Two strands are separated
3) DNA polymerase makes exact complimentary strands (new) to pair with old strands
4) 2 identical DNA molecules are made
400
Proteins are assembled here
What is the ribosome?
500
The reason why DNA replication happens.
What is to pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division?
500
Three differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has Ribose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
500
This has a globular shape and helps make ribosomes where proteins are made
What is ribosomal RNA?
500
The original strand of DNA is ACT TTG CGA
The mutated strand of DNA is ACT TTC GA
This is a _______________ mutation
What is a deletion?
500
These are the three mutations that can occur to the bases of DNA and/or RNA.
What are deletions, insertions, and substitutions?
