100
These gentleman were credited with developing the most current model of DNA.
Who are Watson and Crick?
100
This is the sugar found in the sugar phosphate backbone of RNA.
What is ribose?
100
This is the meaning of the word scribe, which is the root word for transcription.
What is "to write."
100
This is the site of translation in eukaryotic cells.
What is the ribosome?
100
These are variations in DNA that occur as the strand is put together.
What is a mutation?
200
The "ladders" in a strand of DNA are comprised of these four nitrogenous bases.
What are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine?
200
Unlike DNA, RNA does not contain thymine. Rather, it has this nitrogenous base that pairs with adenine.
What is uracil?
200
This is the site of transcription in eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
200
Translation occurs when this molecule reads a set of codons on the mRNA strand.
What is tRNA or transfer RNA?
200
These mutations occur at single points in the DNA sequence.
What is a point mutation?
300
The backbone of a DNA molecule is made of a phosphate and this sugar?
What is deoxyribose?
300
This is the number of strands found in a molecule of RNA.
What is one?
300
This enzyme binds to DNA and transcribes mRNA during transcription.
What is RNA Polymerase?
300
A codon contains how many nitrogenous bases?
What is three?
300
In this type of mutation, one base is changed to a different base.
What is substitution?
400
These are the bonds that hold the nitrogenous bases together in the middle of a strand of DNA.
What are hydrogen bonds?
400
This type of RNA is transcribed in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells during transcription.
What is mRNA or messenger RNA?
400
This is the name of the nitrogenous base that pairs with Adenine during transcription to form mRNA.
What is uracil?
400
After each codon is translated, tRNA delivers this molecule to a special site on the ribosome.
What is an amino acid?
400
In this type of mutation, one base is either inserted or deleted.
What is a frameshift mutation?
500

This rule establishes how nitrogenous bases are paired: A=T and C=G. If there are 15 cytosine in the DNA sequence, how many adenine are there?

What is 35 adenine?

500
These are the three types of RNA.
What are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA? or messenger, transfer, and ribosomal?
500
This is the amino acid that is used to initiate transcription. It has a start codon of AUG?
What is methionine?
500
Amino acids are bonded together to form a protein chain, which is also know as what?
What is a polypeptide chain?
500
These are chemical of physical agents that cause mutation.
What are mutagens?
