These bonds hold the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA together.
Covalent Bonds
How many total codons are found in the human body.
64
The bodies way of "spell checking" your mRNA is done through this process.
RNA Splicing
Given the DNA strand, what would be the amino acid sequence?
ATACCGGGGTTA
Tyrosine-Glycine-Proline-Asparagine
What percentage of a DNA molecule would be a purine if 13% was cytosine.
50%
Proteins that help keep the separated strands apart.
Single-Stranded Binding Proteins
What type of bond connects the amino acid chain.
Peptide Bond
What percentage of the human body is dry weight
30%
What would be the tRNA anti-codons for a DNA strand
AAA TAT CCG GGG ATA
AAA UAU CCG GGG AUA
True or False
Purines always equal this percentage of the total number of nucleotides.
True
This is the name for the location where two parent DNA strands separate and form new strands and are synthesized
Replication Fork
What are the three stages of translation in the proper order?
Initiation, Elongation, Termination
A mutation that triggers your cells to replicate non-stop is known as what disease/sickness?
Cancer
Given the following anti-codons, what would be the associated chain of amino acids.
AAA GGG AUA CCG AGU AUC
Phenylalanine
Proline
Tyrosine

STOP
Out of 3210 nucleotides, 542 of them are cytosine. What is the total number of nucleotides that would be considered pyrimidines in this molecule?
1,605 nucleotides
Found on the lagging strand of the DNA, these are formed as a result of DNA Polymerase needing to hop back up to the leading strand and form an inconsistent sequence on the lagging strand.
Okazaki Fragments
What is the process of removing introns and exons are joined together to form eukaryotic mRNA?
RNA Splicing
