DNA Structure
What does adenine pair with?
Thymine
What is the first step of DNA replication?
To unzip the DNA molecule down the center.
What is produced in Transcription?
mRNA
What is produced in Translation?
Protein, polypeptide or chain of amino acids
What three things make up a nucleotide?
Sugar, phosphate and a base.
What are the names of all four nitrogenous bases?
adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine
What enzyme unzips the DNA molecule during replication?
Helicase
Why is transcription needed?
Need to copy the information in DNA to leave the nucleus to make proteins.
How is translation connected to transcription?
Translation uses the mRNA that is formed during transcription
What is the name of one of the two video clip series we regularly see with our notes.
Amoeba Sisters or Crash Course Biology
Describe what the structure of DNA looks like
Double helix, twisted ladder, etc.
Why does a cell have to do DNA replication?
In order for the cell to divide, the genetic information has to be copied.
Where does transcription take place in eukaryotes?
Nucleus
Where does translation occur?
Ribosome
What date is the end of the second grading period(both teams will have a chance to answer). Closest gets the points(no deductions for wrong answer).
April 28th.
What is the end product that the DNA code provides instructions for making?
Proteins/Polypeptides
What is the enzyme that helps put together the new strand of DNA during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase
What nitrogenous base in RNA takes the place of thymine that is in DNA?
Uracil
A three base sequence on a tRNA molecule
Anticodon
What is the name of the school musical that is happening next month?
Little Women
What method did Rosalind Franklin use to view the DNA molecule?
X-ray diffraction
After DNA replication is complete, what is true about the two strands of the two new DNA molecules? This is why it's called semi-conservative replicaton.
They each have one new strand and one old strand.
What enzyme puts together the mRNA molecule during transcription?
RNA polymerase
What type of bonds form between the amino acids during translation?
Peptide bonds
What does Mr. Wade's son do?
Chemical engineer.
