The name of the spermicidal agent that is found in condoms and spermicides that disrupts the cell membranes of of sperm cells.
What is nonoxynol-9?
300
The number of amino acids that a 26 nucleotide mRNA could code for?
What is 8?
300
The part of the CRISPR-Cas9 system that initially binds to the target DNA via base pairing.
What is the guide RNA?
300
What is the strongest type of attractive force that the following molecules can have for one another: 2 molecules of water (H2O)?
What is hydrogen bonding?
400
The blood type (in ABO typing only) that is a universal acceptor?
What is AB?
400
NSAIDS (such as aspirin and ibuprofen) inhibit the synthesis of arachidonic acid to prostaglanding by inhibiting the action of the enzyme that catalyzes this synthesis. What is the name of this enzyme?
What is cyclooxygenase?
400
The name of the macromolecular structure in which proteins are synthesized.
What is the ribosome?
400
The name of the method that uses electricity to form small holes in a cell membrane so that one can smuggle in foreign DNA.

Herceptin is a breast cancer drug that requires glycosylation to function. It is also a biopharmaceutical, in particular a MAb. What does this 'mab' stand for in biopharmaceutical product names?
What is monoclonal antibody?
500
Caribou spend a lot of time walking around in deep snow. As such, they have developed a different percentage of saturated versus unsaturated fatty acids in the cell membranes of their feet and legs. Which do you think their legs have more of, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
What is unsaturated fatty acids?
500
In epigenetics, the tighter DNA is wound around nucleosomes the less that DNA is used. If a histone protein gets an epigenetic tag that has a -1 charge, will the DNA around that nucelosome be upregulated or downregulated?
What is upregulated? (Because phosphates on outside of DNA have a - charge, -/- repulse, so DNA will not be tightly wrapped around nucleosome = DNA used more = upregulated.
