The R in RNA
What is ribo?
100
The three parts of DNA.
What is a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base?
100
This is the Central Dogma.
What is DNA to RNA to Protein?
100
This is the process of making an mRNA copy from a DNA template.
What is transcription?
100
This is when DNA is not copied correctly.
What is a mutation?
100
This is the science that studies how traits get passed from parent to offspring.
What is genetics?
200
The t in tRNA
What is transfer?
200
These are the 4 nitrogen bases in DNA.
What is adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine?
200
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What is an amino acid?
200
This is the copied RNA strand from the DNA that has this sequence ATTGACAGTCGA.
What is UAACUGUCAGCU?
200
In this mutation no amino acids are different.
What is a silent mutation?
200
This is what amino acids are bonded together with.
What is a polypeptide bond?
300
the N in DNA and RNA
What is Nucleic?
300
This is the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
300
This matches the codon to the amino acid? (#2)
What is tRNA?
300
These are the THREE differences in RNA and DNA
What is -
Contains Uracil instead of Thymine
Is single stranded.
Has ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose.
300
In this type of mutation a nucleotide is inserted or deleted causing the whole polypeptide chain to be disrupted.
What is frameshift mutation?
300
The mRNA sequence is read by this.
What is the ribosome?
400
The m in mRNA.
What is messenger?
400
One scientist who helped discover the structure of DNA?
Who is Watson, Crick, or Franklin?
400
These signify the end of the mRNA sequence for one gene.
What is a stop codon?
400
This is found at the beginning of each gene.
What is the promoter?
400
This type of mutation is caused by a mistake in base pairing for ONE nucleotide.
What is point mutation?
400
Some of the mRNA is spliced out because it is not necessary. This is the unnecessary section of the mRNA.
What is the intron?
500
The D in DNA.
What is deoxy?
500
TWO PARTS -This composes the sides of the ladder of DNA.
AND this composes the rungs.
What is the sugar phosphate backbone?
AND
What are the the nitrogenous bases?
500
The mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters this.
What is the cytoplasm?
500
This is the enzyme that unwinds a small section of the DNA strand, and uses one side if the double helix as a template.
What is RNA polymerase?
500
This mutation causes translation to stop too early?
What is nonsense mutation?
500
Number one represents this.
What is an amino acid?
