Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine
200

The two copies of DNA resulting from replication compare this way.

What is identical?

This enzyme unzips the DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds.

What is helicase?

300

The three parts that make up a nucleotide.

Phosphate, Sugar, Nitrogenous Base

300

Half of a new copy of DNA is new and half is "old".

What is semi-conservative?

300

Protein factories

Ribosomes

300

A point mutation that causes STOP

A nonsense mutation.

300

If the two sides of a strand of DNA are anti-parallel, it means what about them.

The run in opposite directions

400
The sides of the double helix are called the DNA ____________________.
Backbone
400
Enzyme that plugs in complementary bases on the developing strands of DNA. 
DNA polymerase
400
Three base sequences that code for a specific amino acid that are found on mRNA.
Codons
400

The definition of a mutation.

What is the change in a DNA or mRNA sequence?

400
Where do transcription and translation take place?
In the nucleus and in the cytoplasm (on a ribosome)
500

The type of bond found between the nitrogenous bases, holding the two sides of a strand of DNA together?

Hydrogen Bonds

500

Where DNA replication occurs.

What is the nucleus?

500

The "fetchers" of amino acids within the cytoplasm. These bring the amino acids back to the ribosomes to be attacked to the growing chain.

tRNA

500

A disease that exists because of a mutation in the gene that is associated with the shape of red blood cell.

What is sickle cell anemia?

500
When does DNA replication take place?
During interphase in the S phase
