Mutations
100
This is composed of a sequence of nucleotides, including a nitrogenous base (A, T, C, G), a sugar, and a phosphate.
What is a molecule of DNA?
100
These are the complementary bases in RNA: A pairs with ___, and C pairs with ___.
What are U and G?
100
This is the nitrogen base that pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is thymine (T)?
100
DNA:double-stranded, as RNA:________________.
What is single-stranded?
100
Anything that can cause a mutation.
What is a mutagen?
200
There are 20 different ones of these that can be linked together by tRNA in translation.
What are amino acids?
200
This is the replicated strand of the following sequence of DNA: GTA TCC GAA.
What is CAT AGG CTT?
200
Molecules of DNA are composed of long chains of these.
What are nucleotides?
200
This type of RNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA (transfer RNA)?
200
The most dangerous type of substitution mutation.
What is a nonsense mutation?
300
This is a process DNA undergoes in order to base pair with a complementary strand of mRNA.
What is transcription?
300
This is the transcribed strand of the following sequence of DNA: GCC TTA GAT.
What is CGG AAU CUA?
300
The backbone of the DNA molecule is made of these two things.
What are a sugar and a phosphate?
300
Decoding an mRNA message into a chain of amino acids is called this.
What is translation?
300
The type of mutation that replaces an amino acid with a stop codon.
What is a nonsense mutation?
400
The use of this may be necessary to "jump start" chemical reactions in cells.
What is an enzyme?
400
This is the tRNA anticodon of the following piece of mRNA: GUA CCG GAU
What is CAU GGC CUA?
400
This is the name of the structure (shape) of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
400
These are complementary to mRNA codons.
What tRNA anticodons?
400
The most dangerous type of mutation generally.
What is a frameshift mutation?
500
This is the end product of translation, which is formed out of a string of amino acids.
What is a protein?
500
Amino acid sequence given tRNA sequence of UUA GCG CUG.
What is ASN ARG ASP?
500
RNA molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA during this process.
What is transcription?
500
In mRNA, each codon codes for at least one of these "building blocks" of a protein.
What is amino acid?
500
The type of mutation that changes one base in the codon resulting in the coding for a different amino acid than the original.
What is a missense mutation?
