100
This sugar is found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
100
This process produces an RNA copy of a gene.
What is transcription?
100
These are the monomers use to build proteins.
What are amino acids?
100
An operon is a group of genes controlled together in this type of organism.
What is a prokaryote?
100
This laboratory technique is used to make many copies of a DNA sequence.
What is PCR?
200
These three components make up a DNA nucleotide.
What are a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar and a nitrogenous base?
200
This type of RNA carries genetic information from DNA to a ribosome.
What is mRNA?
200
This type of bond joins amino acids together in a polypeptide.
What is a peptide bond?
200
This DNA region is where RNA polymerase binds to begin transcription?
What is the promoter?
200
This enzyme cuts DNA at specific recognition sequences.
What is a restriction enzyme/endonuclease?
300
These bonds hold complementary bases together between the two strands of DNA.
What are hydrogen bonds?
300
These non-coding regions are removed from pre-mRNA during RNA processing.
What are introns?
300
Good Labubu!!!! You gain 500 points!!!!
300
This regulatory protein can bind to an operator and prevent transcription.
What is a repressor?
300
Evil Labubu!!! You lose 500 points!!!
400
This enzyme joins DNA nucleotides together during DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
This three-base sequence on tRNA is complementary to a codon on mRNA.
What is an anticodon?
400
Alpha helices and beta-pleated sheets are features of this level of protein structure.
What is secondary structure?
400
In the trp operon, high levels of this amino acid cause transcription to be switched off.
What is tryptophan?
400
This enzyme joins a gene of interest into a plasmid by forming bonds in the sugar-phosphate backbone.
What is DNA ligase?
500
DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to this end of a growing DNA strand.
What is the 3’ end?
500
Different mature mRNA molecules can be produced from the same pre-mRNA through this process.
What is alternative splicing?
500
A change to a protein’s three dimensional shape that causes loss of function is called this.
What is denaturation?
500
When tryptophan binds to the trp repressor, it allows the repressor to bind to this DNA region.
What is the operator?
500
In CRISPR-Cas9, this molecule directs Cas9 to the complementary target DNA sequence.
What is guide RNA? (gRNA)
