DNA/RNA Structure and Function
DNA Replication, Transcription, & Translation
Gene Expression: Environmental Impacts & Mutations
Mystery
100
Cell cytoplasm splits and two IDENTICAL cells are formed
What is Mitosis?
100
Contains all the genetic information needed for an organism
What is DNA?
100
Write the corresponding mRNA strand: CGTAATTAG
What is the mRNA strand GCAUUAAUC?
100
The process of turning genes off and on to make sure genes are expressed at the proper times
What is gene regulation?
100
Crime scene investigations, paternity tests, diagnosing genetic disease, identifying evolutionary relationships
What are ways to use the results of gel electrophoresis?
200
Sister chromatids split and move towards either side of the cell
What is anaphase?
200
Has a helical structure and genetic material
What is DNA and RNA?
200
The process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule
What is gene expression?
200
The reason why a bunny has white fur in warm temperatures but brown fur in cold temperatures
What is temperature affecting gene expression?
200
A change in a base sequence in DNA
What is a mutation?
300
List the 5 steps of Mitosis in order
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis
300
Contains uracil
What is RNA?
300
The building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
300
All of the possible environmental impacts on gene expression
What are gender, drugs, chemicals, temperature, light, hormones, and metabolism?
300
What kind of protein cuts DNA samples for gel electrophoresis?
What are enzymes?
400
What is telophase?
400
The shape of the molecule DNA
What is a double helix?
400
The process where a polypeptide chain is made based off codons in mRNA
What is translation?
400
Name the type of mutation: A-T-C-G-A-A -> A-A-T-C-G-A-A
What is insertion?
400
The reason why liver cells and pancreatic cells have different jobs, but the exact same DNA
What is the result of expression of different proteins/genes?
500
PMAT + C
What are the steps of Mitosis in order?
500
Transcription and proofreading the complementary DNA strand
What are the two jobs of DNA polymerase?
500
This molecule is an important part of translation. Anti-codons in this molecule combine with codons in the existing mRNA, which tells the cell what amino acid to make
What is tRNA?
500
Causes a change in the original amino acid sequence determined by the gene
What is a change in order of DNA bases (mutation)?
500
Coiled strands of genetic material
What are chromosomes?
