100
DNA and RNA are both this type of biomolecule
What are nucleic acids?
100
This type of mutation changes a codon so that it codes for a different amino acid 
What is a missense mutation? 
100
The directionality of DNA is described as
What is Antiparallel?
100
This is the process of making an entire second copy of your DNA instructions
What is DNA replication?
100
This type of mutation does not change the amino acid coded for by a codon
What is a silent mutation? 
200
These are the four nucleotide bases that are found in DNA
What is 1) adenine, 2) thymine, 3) guanine, 4) cytosine?
200
This is the process of making a copy of a gene and turning it into a chain of amino acids? 
What is protein synthesis? 
200
These are the four nucleotide bases found in RNA
What is 1) Adenine, 2) Uracil, 3) Guanine, 4) Cytosine?
200
DNA replication occurs during this time and in this place?
What is 'during S-phase of the cell life cycle in the nucleus?'
200
This is the organelle where translation occurs 
What is the ribosome? 
300
These pieces of material are laid down and chemically signal DNA polymerase to 'start adding bases here'
What are RNA primers? 
300
This newly-synthesized strand of DNA is created continuously in the direction of unwinding
What is the leading strand?
300
This type of RNA makes a photocopy of a gene and is then taken into the cytoplasm to find a ribosome
What is mRNA (messenger RNA)?
300
This type of RNA is used to gather and move amino acids to the ribosome during translation
What is tRNA?
300
This is the definition of a mutation
What is 'a permanent change in the DNA of an organism that makes their genes different from those of the rest of the population?' 
400
This structure is created when DNA helicase unwinds a strand of DNA for replication
What is a replication fork? 
400
This is the process of copying a gene from a DNA blueprint using a piece of RNA?
What is transcription?
400
These short sequences of DNA are formed on the lagging strand during DNA replication
What are Okazaki fragments?
400
These are sequences of three nucleotides that code for amino acids
What are codons/anti-codons?
400
This type of mutation involves the addition of one or several nucleotides into a DNA sequence
What is an insertion mutation? 
500
This is the result of a nonsense mutation
What is 'protein translation will end too early?' 
500
On the board, write the matching anti-codons to the following sequences: AUA, UUA, CGA, AAC
What is 1) UAU, 2) AAU, 3) GCU, 4) UUG? 
500
Are mutations considered good or bad over the long term and why?
What is 'they are considered to be good because they allow for change and adaptation to new environments?' 
500
Explain how genetic code is redundant, based on the chart of amino acids we looked at together in class
What is 'multiple codons code for the same amino acid which allows for mistakes to be made and still get to the correct amino acid?' 
500
This is the result of an inversion mutation
What is 'nuceotide bases and/or genes switch places?'
