What are the three steps of transcription? (For both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.)
1. Initiation
2. Elongation
3. Termination
100
Which process within transcription is the same for both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?
Elongation
100
What is a codon?
A sequence of nucleotides on mRNA, read in triplets.
100
What are the three different types of RNA?
mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA.
100
What is Ms. Killian's favorite Christmas movie?
The Grinch
200
What happens to the mRNA right after transcription within Prokaryotes?
mRNA is ready to undergo the translation process immediately.
200
What would be the complementary RNA strand to this DNA strand?
DNA: AUG TAA CGC
RNA: UAC AUU GCG
200
What is the process of translation accomplishing?
Turning mRNA into a protein.
200
What are three big differences between DNA and RNA?
RNA: single stranded, sugar is ribose, can be found in nucleus, cytoplasm, and ribosome, AU & CG, 3 types.
DNA: double stranded, sugar is deoxyribose, in nucleus, AT & CG, 1 type.

What are 3 of the 7 dwarfs named in Snow White?
Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey
300
What acts as a primer or a starting point for the initiation process within Prokaryotes?
The promoter sequence
300
What is the difference between exons and introns?
Exons are WITH genetic information while introns are NOT with genetic information.
300
Where does the process of translation occur?
It occurs in the cytoplasm/ribosomes.
300
What are the three different point mutations?
Silent mutations, Missense mutations, and Nonsense mutations.
300
Instead of red sauce, what does Buddy put on his spaghetti as a substitute sauce, from the movie Elf?
Maple Syrup
400
How does your body know when to stop building RNA during the termination process?
The terminator sequence on DNA signals for RNA polymerase to disengage from DNA and to stop building RNA.
400
During the initiation process of transcription, Eukaryotes have a promoter sequence that has a specific section of code. What is this sequence called?
TATA Box
400
What breaks off of tRNA during the termination process of translation?
Amino acid chain
400
What are the three ways mutations can occur? (From our slides)
1. Errors in DNA Replication, 2. Errors in Mitosis/Meiosis - Nondisjunction, 3. Damaging agents - Mutagens

Who does Harry Potter take to the Yule Ball?
Parvati Patil
500
Explain what this picture is portraying:
RNA polymerase unwinds DNA, reads template strand of DNA from 3’ →5’, and synthesizes complementary mRNA strand from 5’ →3’ (same for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes).
500
After transcription in Eukaryotes, what two things are added to the mRNA strand?
A poly A tail is added after the polyadenylation signal (3’ end) and a methyl cap is also added (5’ end).
500
What process, (within translation), is happening when contact between mRNA and the small subunit of the ribosome “attracts” the large subunit of ribosome and ribosome closes around mRNA?
The initiation process
500
From Ms. Killian's slides, there are four main commonalities between DNA and RNA: what are these?
Are genetic material, pass along hereditary info, made of nucleotides and have directionality: a 5’ end and a 3’ end.
