Mutations
General 1
100
Sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base combine to make this structure
What is a nucleotide?
100
The three types of RNA
What is Messenger RNA, Transfer RNA and Ribosomal RNA
100
Identify the mutation ABCDEF ACBDEF
What is a INVERSION?
100

A sequence of three nucleotides that forms a unit of genetic information encoding a particular amino acid

What is a codon?

200
Thymine with Adenine and Guanine with Cytosine are examples of this
What is complementary base pairs?
200

The location where tRNA can bind and deliver amino acids to mRNA

What is the Ribosomes?

200
Identify this mutation ABCDEF ABCEF
What is DELETION?
200
A fundamental principle of molecular genetics which states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to Proteins
What is Central Dogma?
300

DNA: deoxyribose sugar and RNA: ribose sugar

DNA: double-stranded, RNA: single-stranded

DNA: cannot leave the cell, RNA: can leave the cell

These are all examples of...


What is the difference between RNA and DNA?

300
Contains an anticodon and an amino acid
What is Transfer RNA?
300

Coding changes, amino acid remains same

What is silent mutation?

300
Arrange these from LARGEST to SMALLEST Nucleotide, Chromosome, Cell, DNA, Nucleus
What is Cell, Nucleus, Chromosome, DNA, Nucleotide?
400
The scientists who discovered the double helix model of DNA
Who were Watson and Crick?
400
The assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide using the information encoded in the RNA
What is Translation?
400

removing a nucleotide; shifts everything one ‘letter’ to the left.

What is a Frameshift Deletion?

400
For example, we insert the human insulin gene into bacteria and the bacteria makes human insulin
What is genetic engineering?
500
If the structure of DNA were compared to a ladder, what would make up the sides? (Not the steps of the ladder)
What are the Sugar-Phosphate Molecules?
500
What travels from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, is responsible for the production of proteins, and is created from a double stranded template
What is mRNA?
500

The sixth amino acid in the chain is valine, rather than glutamic acid. GAG becomes GTG in the 6th codon

What is the mutation that causes Sickle Cell Anemia?

500

Name of 3 steps needed to mass produce target pieces of DNA for analysis.

What is Denaturing, Annealing, and Elongation for PCR?
