What is DNA?
What is the genetic material of living organisms?
What are genes?
What is units of heredity that carry information for traits?
# of chromosomes in human body
What is 46 chromosomes?
Purpose of gene
What is to code for proteins to determine traits?
What is a mutation
What is a change in DNA sequence?
What is the full form of the acronym DNA?
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Four nitrogenous bases in DNA?
What is Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G)?
Shape of a DNA molecule?
What is a double helix?
Which base pairs with Adenine in DNA?
Process of copying DNA
What is DNA replication?
In which part of a eukaryotic cell is DNA primarily located?
What is the nucleus?
Function of DNA
What is DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of living organisms.
What is the sugar present in DNA?
What is Deoxyribose?
What is a nucleotide?
What is a helicase?
What is the difference between a point mutation and a frameshift mutation?
What is point mutation changes one nucleotide; frameshift adds or deletes nucleotides.
What does homozygous mean?
What is two identical alleles for a gene.
What is crossing over in meiosis?
What is the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes.
What is mitochondrial DNA inheritance?
What is inherited only from the mother.
What is a gene mutation?
What is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect gene function.
What is genetic drift?
What is a random change in allele frequencies in a population, often due to chance events.
What is complementary base pairing?
What is the specific pairing of nitrogenous bases in DNA, where Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine?
What type of bond holds the two strands of DNA together?
What are hydrogen bonds?
What is the difference between introns and exons?
What is exons are coding regions of DNA that are expressed as proteins, while introns are non-coding regions that are spliced out during mRNA processing.
What is the difference between purines and pyrimidines in DNA?
What is purines (Adenine and Guanine) have a double-ring structure, while pyrimidines (Cytosine and Thymine) have a single-ring structure.
What is the role of DNA polymerase?
What is DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication and proofreads for errors?
