DNA

100

What DNA is used for

What is coding genes

200

The "ladders" in a strand of DNA are comprised of these four nitrogenous bases.

What are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine?

300

The backbone of a DNA molecule is made of a phosphate and this sugar?

What is deoxyribose?

400

These are the bonds that hold the nitrogenous bases together in the middle of a strand of DNA.

What are hydrogen bonds?

500

The person who discovered the double helix shape of DNA

Who is Rosalind Franklin

RNA

100

This is the sugar found in the sugar phosphate backbone of RNA.

What is ribose?

200

Unlike DNA, RNA does not contain thymine. Rather, it has this nitrogenous base that pairs with adenine.

What is uracil?

300

This is the number of strands found in a molecule of RNA.

What is one?

400

type of RNA that carries amino acids

What is tRNA

500

These are the three types of RNA.

What are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA? or messenger, transfer, and ribosomal?

Transcription

100

This is the meaning of the word scribe, which is the root word for transcription.

What is "to write."

200

This is the site of transcription in eukaryotic cells.

What is the nucleus?

300

This enzyme binds to DNA and transcribes mRNA during transcription.

What is RNA Polymerase?

400

This is the name of the nitrogenous base that pairs with Adenine during transcription to form mRNA.

What is uracil?

500

Process of coding RNA from DNA

What is transcription?

Translation

100

This is the site of translation in eukaryotic cells.

What is the ribosome?

200

This codon is usually the start codon

What is AUG

300

A codon contains how many nitrogenous bases?

What is three?

400

After each codon is translated, tRNA delivers this molecule to a special site on the ribosome.

What is an amino acid?

500

Amino acids are bonded together to form a protein chain, which is also know as what?

What is a polypeptide chain?
