What is DNA?

A make up of genes for all living things.

100

What are the two stages of protein synthesis?

transcription and translation

100

The location of transcription.

nucleus

100

The location of translation.

ribosome

100

A mutation where one base replaces another.

Point or substitution

200

What are the base pairs in RNA?

A,U,C,G
200

A series of 3 bases on an mRNA strand.

codon

200

The molecules in transcription.

DNA and mRNA

200

The codon is CGA, what is the anticodon?

GCU

200

The type of mutation seen here.

Original:     ATCCGTACGTCA

Mutation:   ATCGCGTACGTCA 

 Frameshift insertion

300

One difference between DNA and RNA.

DNA: double stranded, cannot leave nucleus, ATCG

RNA: single stranded, can leave nucleus, AUCG

300

The molecule that delivers the amino acid.

tRNA

300

The end result of transcription.

mRNA

300

The molecules of translation.

mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

300

The effect of the amino acid sequence from a point mutation in DNA.

No change or a change in one amino acid

400

A change in the sequence of DNA.

 mutation

400

Amino acid sequence for AUG CGA UAA.

MET ARG STOP

400

The mRNA sequence from this DNA template:  ACGCGATAG

UGCGCUAUC

400

Identify the green/blue molecule.



ribosome

400

Type of mutation in the DNA:

Original:   ACTAATCAGGCA

Mutated:   ACTATCAGGCA

Frameshift deletion

500

What sugars do DNA and mRNA have?

DNA deoxyribose, RNA ribose

500

The anticodon on the tRNA is GUA, what is the codon?

CAU

500

The enzyme that adds RNA bases to match the DNA template.

RNA polymerase

500

The process is taking place in the image and explain how you know.

Transcription, DNA is present, RNA polymerase is present

FINAL JEOPARDY: Transcribe and Translate the following DNA sequence:  TAC GCT CCC AGC AUT

There will be no protein because U is not present in DNA.
