what is the order for the Central Dogma?
DNA-RNA-Protein
100
True or false: RNA is extremely stable
False
100
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is a ......
Gene
100
This happens during the S phase?
DNA replication
100
How is DNA read?
5' to 3'
200
The process of DNA to RNA?
Transcription
200
This RNA forms up ribosomes.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
200
What are the steps to translation?
Ribosome attaches to mRNA, finds start codon, two tRNA amino acids form a bond, ribosome shifts down the mRNA, polypeptide chain grows, ribosome hits the end codon and protein is released
200
What are the four parts of Mitosis in order?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
200
How many strands does RNA have?
one strand
300
The process of changing RNA to Proteins
Translation
300
This RNA is the strand that is read by ribosomes.
Messanger RNA (mRNA)
300
What kind of mutation is sickle-cell anemia?
Point Mutation
300
What is the term for all parts of the cell cycle except mitosis?
Interphase
300
What edits out introns and splices exons together?
snRNP
400
When a virus uses RNA into DNA
Reverse Transcription
400
This RNA carries anticodons and amino acids to make the proteins.
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
400
Why is crossing over so important?
Shuffles genetic material between mom and dad chromosomes
400
What process do germ cells go through?
Meiosis
400
What percent of children born to two Aa parents will have a recessive gene of Albinism?
25%
500
Where does transcription occur? Translation?
Nucleus; cytoplasm/ribosome
500
This is what unzips DNA to make RNA
RNA Polymerase

Describe what a frameshift mutation is and why it's so bad.
Either adds in or takes out a base, this changed the entire following reading frame
500
What is the difference between Mitosis and Cytokinesis?
Mitosis: nuclear division Cytokinesis: cell division
500
This is what the snRNP forms when it removes introns.
