What is deoxyribose?
The sugar component of DNA.
100
What is Ribose?
The sugar found in the RNA.
100
What is a Ribosome?
A minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins.
100
What is a silent mutation?
A mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids and does not cause disease.
100
What is a double helix?
The shape that DNA forms.
200
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA.
200
What is (A T T - C G C - A G T) ? (U A A - G C G - U C A) ?
The sequence of bases on DNA that would complement the following nucleotide bases on mRNA: U A A - G C G - U C A
200
What is Transcription?
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
200
What is a substitution?
The type of mutation that occurs when one base is replaced by another.
200
What is a nucleotide?
Sugar, phosphate, and bases make up.
300
What is DNA Replication?
The process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule
300
What is tRNA
The type of RNA that has a anticodon.
300
What is transfer RNA?
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
300
What is an expressed mutation?
A mutation that results in a change in amino acid sequence and a non-functional protein.
300
What is RNA?
A ribose based nucleic acid.
400
What is deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogen base?
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building blocks).
400
What is Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
400
What is a codon?
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule.
400
What is a frameshift?
The type of mutation that happens when a base is either deleted or inserted, causing a change in the reading of codons and amino acids.
400
What is mRNA and tRNA?
Two types of RNA.
500
What passes on genetic information to other cells during cell division?
The process of why DNA replication happens.
500
Why is DNA double stranded and RNA single stranded?
RNA is a single-stranded molecule in many of its biological roles and has a much shorter chain of nucleotides. DNA contains deoxyribose.
500
What is GUC?
This is the anticodon for CAG.
500
What is a deletion?
The original strand of DNA is ACT TTG CGA The mutated strand of DNA is ACT TTC GA
500
What is deoxyribose?
The name of the five carbon sugar that is the backbone of DNA.
