DNA vs. RNA
The sugar that RNA contains
Ribose
The location of transcription
Nucleus
Ribosome
The molecule which holds the instructions for making proteins
DNA
The part of a DNA nucleotide that changes as a result of a mutation
Nitrogen Base
The monomer of both DNA and RNA
Nucleotide
The product of transcription
mRNA
Group of three bases found on mRNA
Codon
The physical expression of a protein
Trait
Factors such as chemicals and radiation that can cause mutations
Mutagens
The nitrogen base that replaces thymine in RNA
Uracil
The molecule that is used as a template in transcription
DNA
This molecule carries the building block of proteins
tRNA
The factor that affects gene expression due to climate changes throughout the year
Temperature
Mutations that change one nucleotide in a DNA sequence
Point Mutation
The organelle which RNA must leave in order for proteins to be made
Nucleus
The enzyme that temporarily unzips DNA and builds RNA
RNA Polymerase
The amino acid produced by the DNA strand TCG
Serine
The four factors that can affect gene expression
Temperature, Environment, Hormones, Diet
Mutation that causes translation to stop
Nonsense Mutation
The three types of RNA
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
The three parts of an RNA nucleotide
Sugar (ribose), phosphate, and nitrogen base
The polymer of a protein that is produced in translation
Polypeptide
The process that allows cells to become specialized
Gene Regulation
The type of mutation if DNA is changed from AGTCGCTAA to AGCGCTAA
Deletion Mutation
