What is false
300
What are some examples of what proteins help to determine the traits of an organism?
What are size, shape, and color
300
What happens during protein synthesis?
What is the cell uses information from a gene on a chromosome to produce a specific protein.
300
Transfer RNA molecules carry specific what to the ribosome?
What are amino acids

Mutation can cause a cell to produce an incorrect what?
What is a protein.
400
Proteins are long chain molecules made up of what?
What are individual amino acids
400
How are DNA and RNA different?
What is DNA has two strands while RNA has one, they both have different sugars, and their nitrogen bases are different.
400
The order of the amino acids on the chain is determined by the order of the what on the messenger RNA?
What are the three letter codes
500
What can help determine whether a mutation is helpful, or harmful, or neutral?
What is the organism's environment.
500
What is the main purpose for the genetic code?
What is to form a code that tells the cell what protein to produce.
500
DNA and RNA both have the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, and cytosine in common, but not thymine, what is thymine replaced with?
What is uracil.
