Cancer results when this cellular process is not being properly controlled
What is the Cell Cycle?
300
One of two types of mutations that has to occur for a frame shift mutation to take place.
Insertion or Deletion
300
What is the name of the sugar found in RNA?
Ribose
300
How many bases make up an anti-codon?
Three!
300
Where does translation take place?
In the cytoplasm at a ribosome
300
During which phase of the cell cycle does replication take place?
What is S phase?
400
How many different proteins are impacted when a gene is mutated?
One
400
Which nitrogenous base would never be found in RNA?
Thymine
400
What amino acid would pair up with the beginning DNA bases TAC? (hint: it's the only one I've said you should know)

400
Which characteristic of living things does cell division satisfy?
What is grow, or reproduce?
500
When a mutation changes a codon into another codon and both code for the same amino acid this is known as what type of mutation?
Silent
500
If a sequence of codons on DNA is A-T-G-A-A-C-G-G-T, what is the corresponding strand of mRNA?
U-A-C-U-U-G-C-C-A
500
What is a section of DNA that codes for a particular protein called?
A gene
500
Where does DNA replication take place?
In the nucleus

Translation occurs in ribosomes, however, because many ribosomes stick to the outside of this organelle, protein production is said to occur here.
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
