This kind of molecule is the building block of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
100
This word means "to pull apart." Doing this allows you to compare molecules.
What is separate?
100
This is the name of the special protein produced/made by the endangered plant species we discussed last week.
What is Curol?
100
This is another name for "a piece of DNA."
What is a DNA fragment?
100
What is the square root of 36?
What is 6?
200
This molecule contains all the information needed to make thousands of different proteins.
What is DNA?
200
This type of test allows you to compare the parts of an organism.
What is a structural test?
200
This is the name of the endangered plant species we talked about in lab last week.
What is Botana curus?
200
This chemical cuts DNA into small, medium, and large fragments.
What is a restriction enzyme?
200
Name five cell organelles.
What are the nucleus, cell membrane, ribosomes, mitochondria, and cytoplasm?
300
This is a color molecule.
What is a pigment?
300
This type of test allows you to compare plant pigments.
What is a paper chromatography?
300
This type of test gives you the most information about the relationships between different species of organisms.
What is a molecular test?
300
This simple molecule is used to copy a gene and take instructions from the nucleus to a ribosome.
What is mRNA?
300
What is Jack?

These are the five types of proteins you've learned about this year.
What are enzymes, antigens, hormones, antibodies, and receptors?
400
This test allows you to compare DNA samples from different organisms.
What is a gel electrophoresis?
400
Compare these amino acid sequences: Species A: VAL-GLU-THR-ILE-SER-SER-PRO Species B: VAL-GLU-THR-PHE-SER-SER-ARG Species C: VAL-HIS-THR-ILE-SER-SER-PRO Species D: VAL-GLU-THR-ILE-SER-SER-PRO According to this molecular test, these two species are closely related. Give a reason to support your answer.
What are Species A and Species D because they have identical amino acid sequences.
400
The sequence of molecular bases in DNA determines the sequence of these molecules in a protein.
What are amino acids?
400
This is Ms. Vieux's diabetic cat's name.
What is Jack or Big Baby?
500
This is the process used to cut a gene from one organism's DNA and paste it into another organism's DNA.
What is genetic engineering?
500
In a gel electrophoresis, what causes the DNA fragments to "run" away from the starting line?
What is electricity?
500
The results of a gel electrophoresis test show that Child A and Child B have five DNA fragments in common, Child A and Child C have eight DNA fragments in common, and Child B and Child C have six DNA fragments in common. According to these results, these two children are closely related. Give a reason to support your answer.
What are Child A and Child C are closely related because they have the most DNA fragments in common.
500
This the process that replicates/makes an exact copy of DNA and creates two new cells.
What is mitosis?
500
This enzyme "pastes" DNA fragments together.
What is lipase?
