Transcription/Translation

Define it

100

The enzyme that unzips the DNA strand

What is helicase?

200

The nitrogenous base that never appears in DNA

What is Uracil?

300

A group of three nucleotides.

What is codon?

400

Matches up with mRNA codons.

What is anticodon?

500

The protein enzyme that locates where the DNA polymerase should start adding bases

What is primase?

Nucleotides

100

During transcription, this is matched with Uracil.

What is Adenine?

200

 This is what holds corresponding base pairs together

What is a hydrogen bond?

300

A nitrogenous base present only in RNA.

What is Uracil?

400

The only nitrogenous base not used in transcription and translation.

What is Thymine?

500

This is the pentose sugar found in DNA

What is Deoxyribose?

Transcription

100

This DNA strand is what mRNA builds on

What is the template strand?

200

This is how mRNA gets out of the nucleus

What is a nuclear pore?

300

The carrier of the information.

What is mRNA?

400

This protein enzyme adds bases to RNA

What is RNA polymerase?

500

The piece of DNA that the complementary strand is copied from.

What is template strand?

Translation

100

This nucleic acid translates codons by attaching an anticodon

What is tRNA?

200

UGCCACCUCUCAGGAGUA translated.

What is ACGGUGGAGAGUCCUCAU?

300

The product of translation.

What is protein?

400

This is where most translation occurs in the cell so the polypeptide can be folded

500

This is how many amino acids can be coded for in humans

What is 20 amino acids?

Location, Location, Location

100

Where DNA can be found.

What is nucleus?

200

This is where transcription occurs

What is the nucleus?

300

This is where amino acids attach to one another

What is the ribosome?

400

Where translation takes place.

What is ribosome?

500

This is where rRNA is produced

What is the nucleolus?
