100
This is made of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
What is a nucleotide?
100
Transcription takes place in this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
Translation occurs in this part of the cell.
What is the cytoplasm (ribosome)?
100
This scientist discovered transformation (the mouse/pneumonia experiment)
What was Frederick Griffith?
100
The number of chromosomes found in most human cells.
What is 46?
200
These are the 4 bases found in DNA
What is ACTG?
200
During transcription, the DNA transfers it's information over to this molecule.
What is mRNA?
200
This is what is created at the end of translation.
What is protein?
200
Viruses that infect bacteria are known as these.
What are bacteriophages?
200
The reason for DNA replication.
What is so the cell can divide and have exact copies of DNA in each cell (same as parent cell).
300
The 4 bases found in RNA
What are ACGU?
300
The enzyme responsible for unzipping the DNA before transcription.
What is RNA Polymerase?
300
These are the building blocks of protein.
What are amino acids?
300
These men were credited for discovering the structure of DNA.
Who are Watson & Crick?
300
Helicase, DNA polymerase, and RNA polymerase are all these kinds of molecules.
What are enzymes?
400
The shape of DNA is described as this.
What is a double helix?
400
This is the what is accomplished during transcription.
What is an mRNA strand is synthesized from DNA.
400
The number of amino acids that we have identified.
What is 20?
400
This xray crystalographer was not given credit for her part in the discovery of the structure of DNA until after she died.
Who was Rosalind Franklin?
400
This molecule carries anticodons and attaches the proper amino acids to the polypeptide chain.
What is tRNA?
500
This is roughly the amount of DNA found in each cell (in feet)
What is 6 feet?
500
This type of mutation happens when the wrong base is copied (substitution).
What is a point mutation?
500
Groups of 3 bases on the mRNA strand are known as these.
What are codons?
500
These two scientists used bacteriaphages to show that it was DNA, not protein that was the genetic material.
Who were Hershey and Chase?
500
The type of mutation caused by an insertion or deletion of a base.
What is a frameshift mutation?
