What is DNA?

A make up of genes for all living things.

100

Where does transcription take place?

In the nucleus

100

A codon is a sequence of how many bases?

3 bases 

100

The anti-codon is found on which type of RNA?

tRNA

100

What are the 3 types of mutations discussed in class. 

substitution, deletion and insertion

200

What is the shape difference in DNA and mRNA?

DNA is a double Helix, RNA is a single stranded or helix.

200

What mRNA bases would pair with DNA in this strand

 (G-G-A-T-C-G-C-C-T-T-A-G-A-A-T-C)?

C-C-U-A-G-C-G-G-A-A-U-C-U-U-A-G

200

mRNA-->amino acid/protein

Translation

200

What is the difference between an amino acid and a protein?

 Amino acids are the building blocks of a protein. A protein is a chain of amino acids that are connected to each other.

200

When a portion of the chromosome or DNA is taken out, which can make that chromosome less functional, is known as what type of mutation?

 deletion

300

What are 2 processes or steps of protein synthesis called?

Transcription and Translation

300

DNA-->mRNA

Transcription

300
What does tRNA Stand for? 

Transfer RNA 

300

How many codons are in the following sequence?

CCUAGGCGA

300

When a nucleotide or nucleotides are added into the sequence causing a shift in everything following is what type of mutation?

Insertion
400

What sugars do DNA and mRNA have?

 DNA has deoxyribose sugar and mRNA has ribose sugar.

400

Any change in a DNA sequence.

A mutation

400

What is located at end of the tRNA molecule that is transferred during translation?

amino acid

400

What is the name of the chart we use to translate mRNA into amino acids?

codon chart (mRNA codon chart)

400

Insertion and Deletion are also known as what type of mutations?

Frameshift

500

Where is DNA and mRNA located at?

DNA is found in the nucleus, mRNA is found in the nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosome 

500

Using a codon wheel what is AUG?

Methionine or start codon

500

Where must an mRNA attach before protein production can begin? (site of translation)

mRNA must attach itself to a ribosome

500

Using a codon wheel what amino acid is UUG?

Leucine

500

If the mutation does not cause a change in the amino acid produced this is known as what type of mutation?

silent
