100

Name of monomers that make DNA and RNA

nucleotides

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 bases found in RNA?

A,U,C,G

200

A series of 3 bases on an mRNA strand that code for a specific amino acid.

codon

200
section of DNA that is being transcribed

a gene

200

The codon is CGA, what is the anticodon found on tRNA?

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, contains deoxyribose sugar

RNA: single stranded, can leave nucleus, AUCG, contains ribose sugar

300

The molecule that delivers the amino acid to the ribosome

tRNA

300

The end result of transcription.

mRNA

300

all three molecules of RNA required for translation

mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

300

The possible effects (2) of the amino acid sequence from a point/substitution mutation in DNA.

No change in amino acid 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:  ACGCGA

UGCGCU

400

Identify #1 and 4 in the image.

1 - ribosome

4 - mRNA

400

Type of mutation in the DNA:

Original:   ACTAATCAGGCA

Mutated:   ACTATCAGGCA

Frameshift deletion

500

functions to transfer the genetic code of DNA to site of protein synthesis

mRNA

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 during transcription

RNA polymerase

500

Purpose of translation...final product?

to build a protein / polypeptide

join amino acids together in correct sequence

500

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

AUG CGA GGG UCG UAA

MET ARG GLY  SER  STOP
