What is a mutation?
a mutation is when one or more bases are changed in v strand of DNA.
200
What does RNA stand for?
What is Ribonucleic acid
200
Where does DNA replication take place?
Inside of the nucleus.

What does mRNA stand for?
messenger RNA
200
What is mRNA being translated into?
amino acids when linked together create a protein
200
Are mutations harmful or helpful?
They are neither harmful or helpful.

What happens to the strand of DNA when there is a deletion?
One or more bases of DNA are removed.
400
What are the three things that make up DNA
Bases, sugar, and phosphates
400
List the main steps of DNA replication.
1. DNA unwinds 2. DNA splits into two strands 3. New bases are added to original bases. 4. Two identical molecules of DNA are created.
400
Where does transcription take place inside of the cell?
Nucleus
400
Where does translation take place inside of the cell?
On the ribosomes outside of the nucleus.
400
What does a mutation usually do to the amino acid sequence?
Mutations usually affect the sequence and change it.
500
In what organelle is DNA found inside of the cell?
Nucleus
500
How many molecules of DNA would be made if you started off with 8 original molecules?
16 molecules of DNA would be replicated.
500
Given the following mRNA, what would the DNA first strand be? UAAGCGAUGCAAGUU
TAAGCGATGCAAGTT
500
Given the following mRNA strand, translate it into the proper amino acids using the genetic code table: AUGUUCGAACGUUGA
Met Phe Glu Arg Stop (amino acid sequence)
500
What is a Silent Substitution?
Silent mutations do not change the amino acid sequence and do not have an effect on the protein being created.
