100

This base always pairs with cytosine.

What is guanine?

100
This is the name of the structure of DNA that allows for it to be replicated.
What is a double helix?
100
The location of transcription in the cell.
What is the nucleus.
100
This is the purpose of translation.
What is to create proteins.
100
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
200

The three parts of a nucleotide in DNA.

What are the phosphate group, deoxyribose and nitrogenous base?

200
This enzyme unzips the DNA double helix to begin the process of replication.
What is helicase?
200
The 3 types of RNA.
What are mRNA, tRNA and rRNA?
200
This is the name for the molecule that brings the amino acid to the mRNA sequence in the ribosome.
What is the tRNA
200
This is the type of bond that holds the amino acids together in a protein.
What is a peptide bond?
300

This is the type of bond that holds the nitrogenous bases together and allows for DNA to be replicated.

What are hydrogen bonds.

300
This enzyme acts as a computer and ensures that the bases are paired correctly during replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
300
This enzyme unzips the DNA and ensure correct base pairing to begin the process of transcription.
What is RNA polymerase?
300
These are the 3 overall stages of translation.
What are initiation, elongation and termination.
300
These are the two things that can disrupt the function of a protein.
What is temperature and pH.
400
DNA gets tightly coiled around this protein so that it can be condensed into chromosomes.
What are histones?
400
This is the model that is used to describe DNA and during the process of replication the template strand is conserved.
What is the semi-conservative model?
400
This is where the single stranded RNA travels to after it is transcribed.
What is the ribosome?
400
Sets of three bases in mRNA are called this. This amino acid is considered to be the universal start codon.
What is a codon and methionine.
400
These are the four levels of organization of proteins. (Their folding patterns)
What are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary.
500
These two bases are classified as cytosine and thymine?
What are pyrimidines?
500
This is the direction in which the new DNA strand is created.
What is the 5' to 3' direction.
500
Transcribe the following template DNA sequence into mRNA. A T T C G G A A C C T C G C T
What is U A A G C C U U G G A G C G A.
500
Translate the following mRNA sequence into the correct amino acid sequence. A U G C G C A A A G A G U U C
What is MET ARG LYS Glutamic Acid PHN
500
The reason why proteins are so important to living organisms.
What is because they are the building blocks of living organisms, they make up enzymes and are in every living cell or tissue.
