100

The number of bases that make up a codon and an anticodon

What is 3?

100

The function of helicase in DNA replication 

What is helicase unwinds the double helix to start DNA replication? 

100

The four nitrogenous bases of RNA are 

What are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U)?
100

This is known as a change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA

What is a mutation?

100

This process is when mRNA is formed from a template strand of DNA 

What is transcription? 

200

The start codon

What is AUG?

200

The organelle of the cell where DNA replication occurs

What is the nucleus?

200

Makes up the rungs of a DNA molecule and holds the rungs together

What are the nitrogenous bases and hydrogen bonds?

200

This type of mutation only affects one codon

What is a point mutation?

200

Translation leads to the production of these macromolecules

What are amino acids? 

300

The number of codons in following DNA sequence:

AGCCTTATCAGTACG

What is 5?

300

The enzyme that adds nucleotides to the complementary strand of DNA 

What is DNA polymerase?

300

The name of the process of DNA replication is considered this 

What is semi-conservative?

300

This type of mutation leads to all amino acids being different after the mutation has occured

What is a frameshift mutation?

300

Once mRNA is formed, it leaves the nucleus into the cytoplasm and enters this organelle

What is the ribosome?

400

Code the following mRNA molecule for the correct amino acid.


mRNA AUG - UAC - GAC - CAU - UAA

What is Met (Start) - Tyr - Asp - His - Stop?

400

The period when DNA replication occurs

What is Interphase?

400

The parts that make up a nucleotide of DNA

What is the phosphate group, nitrogenous bases, and deoxyribose sugar?

400

This is the process when we can see mutations occur

What is DNA replication?

400

The types of RNA used during translation 

What are mRNA and tRNA?

500

Figure out the codons for the following protein:

Met - Gln - Trp - Lys 

What are AUG - CAA/CAG - UGG - AAA/AAG?

500

The steps of DNA replication are 

What are helicase unwinds the double helix, SSB proteins hold the strands of DNA apart, primase starts making primer that's attached to the strands, DNA polymerase starts adding nucleotides to the strands, and ligase glues the strands together to make a double helix?

500

The three differences between RNA and DNA

What are DNA is doubled stranded RNA is single stranded, DNA has thymine RNA has uracil, and DNA contain deoxyribose sugars while RNA contains ribose?

500

Figure out the classification and the type of mutation for the DNA sequence below:

Original DNA sequence: TAC CGT ATC GAA TAG

Mutated DNA sequence: TAC GTA TCG AAT AGC

What a frameshift mutation and deletion? 

500

Figure out the protein for the following DNA sequence:

ACC- TAC - TGC - ACA - ATT

What is Met - Thr - Cys?
