The complementary sequence of this DNA molecule:

What is CGCATG?

100

The two steps in building a protein.

What are transcription (Step A) and translation (Step B)?

100

This number of nucleotides makes a codon.

What is three?

100

The probability of seeing a recessive trait when two heterozygotes mate.

What is 25%?

100

The type of mutation shown.

What is a substitution mutation?

200

The two complementary base pairs of DNA.

What is A pairs with T and C pairs with G?

OR

What adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine?

200

Identify the cellular locations.

What are

Location 1 - nucleus

Location 2 - cytoplasm

Location 3 - ribosome

?

200

The two codons that code for Leu.

What are UUA and UUG?

200

The types of dominance shown.

What are

Type A - incomplete dominance

Type B - codominance

?

200

This type of mutation has no effect on the protein because it codes for the same amino acid as the original sequence.

What is a silent mutation?

300

Structure 2.

What is a nucleotide?

300

Sections of DNA that code for proteins.

What are genes?


300

The process shown here.

What is transcription?

300

This is the genotype of Individual 1. Use the pedigree shown:

What is Aa (heterozygous)?

300

Cells are shown in meiosis. Which cell could result in a trisomy?

What is Cell B?

400

These bonds hold together base pairs. Labeled here as X.

What are hydrogen bonds?

400

In RNA, this base replaces thymine.

What is uracil?

OR

What is U?

400

Proteins are made from these building blocks.

What are amino acids?

400
If a disease is caused by a dominant allele, this is the probability that a child will inherit the disease if one parent is homozygous dominant and the other is homozygous recessive.

What is a 100% chance?

400

Because this type of mutation changes the reading frame of a gene, it is usually detrimental to the final protein product.

What is a frameshift mutation?

500

The two components that makeup the backbone of the DNA double helix. Outlined here in red.

What are sugars and phosphates?

500

The amino acids coded for by this DNA sequence: TCA TGC

What is Ser - Thr ?

How did you get that?

First transcribe DNA to mRNA = AGU ACG

Then, use the codon chart

AGU = Ser

ACG = Thr

500

Structures A, B and C.

What are tRNA, ribosome, mRNA?

500

Color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. This is the probability that a female will be colorblind if the mom is a carrier for color blindness and the dad has normal vision.

What is a 0% chance?

500

These two words describe the mutation shown.

One word is for the gene change, one word is for the amino acid change.

What are substitution mutation AND nonsense mutation?
