The blueprint of life is called this.
What is DNA?
100
During DNA replication, Adenine (A) bonds with this base.
What is thymine (T)?
100
During transcription, this molecule will create a new strand of DNA to be taken to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
100
During translation, Adenine (A) will always bond with this molecule.
What is uracil (U)?
100
When base-pairing rules are not followed this can occur
What is a mutation?
200
The sides of a DNA molecule are made out of this or they are the monomers of nucleic acids ?
What are nucleotides?
200
The process of replication occurs here in the cell.
What is the nucleus?
200
This is where transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
200
Translation occurs here in the cell
What is the ribosome?
200
This type of mutation creates no change in the protein produced.
What is a silent mutation?
300
These are the four nitrogen bases found in a DNA molecule
What are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine?
300
This is the main purpose of DNA replication
What is to make every cell contain the same DNA?
300
This is the sugar used in RNA
What is ribose sugar?
300
This molecule has an anticodon on one side and an amino acid on the other.
What is a tRNA molecule?
300
This type of mutation creates a premature stop in creating a protein
What is a nonsense mutation?
400
A nucleotide consists of these two parts.
What is a phosphate group and a deoxyribose sugar?
400
This is the enzyme that "unzips" a DNA molecule
What is DNA helicase?
400
This is how the mRNA strand leaves the nucleus.
What is a nuclear pore?
400
This molecule creates the bond between amino acids
What is rRNA?
400
This type of mutation is when a segment of the chromosome breaks off, flips over backwards, and reattaches to the chromosome.
What is an inversion mutation?
500
This is when DNA replicate
What is before mitosis or the s phase?
500
This is the enzyme that adds free floating nucleotides during replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
500
When reading a codon chart, which strand is used
What is the mRNA strand
500
After translation this is what is made using the DNA instructions.
What is a protein (polypeptide)?
500
This type of mutation is found primarily in African Americans and it causes a change in the shape of red blood cells.
What is sickle cell disease?
