What does the word "dogma" mean?
idea given by authority that is not questioned
100

What are the 4 types of organic compounds?

Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acid.

200
What is the structure of DNA?
Double helix
200
What type of information does the mRNA contain?
genetic information (information for how to build proteins)
200
What molecule is read by the ribosome, and what molecule does the ribosome make?
mRNA, protein
200
What two processes in the central dogma did we learn about?
transcription and translation
200

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Mitosis forms 2 diploid somatic cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Meiosis forms 4 haploid gametes that genetically unique from each other and the parent cell.
