The structure of the DNA molecule.

What is a double helix?

100

The name of the sugar found in RNA.

What is ribose?
100

This is the process by  which DNA makes mRNA.

What is transcription?
100

This is the process by which a protein is made in a cell.

What is translation?

100

These are the molecules used to cut DNA into fragments.  

What are restriction enzymes?
200

The bases of the DNA molecule.

What are Adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine?
200

The base that is found in RNA but not in DNA.  

What is Uracil?

200
This is where transcription occurs in a cell.  

What is the nucleus?

200

This is the type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome.

What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?

200
This is the name of the process that separates DNA into fragments based on their sizes.  

What is gel electrophoresis?

300
The name of the 5 carbon sugar found in DNA.

What is deoxyribose?

300

The three types of RNA. 

mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

300
This is the meaning of the acronym mRNA.

What is messenger RNA?

300

This is the RNA sequence for the following DNA sequence:  TAA-ATA-GCA

What is AUU-UAU-CGU?
300

This is created when you make an exact copy of a cell.  (think Star Wars...Attack of the...)

What is a clone?
400

The acronym DNA stands for this.  

What is deoxyribonucleic acid?

400

This is where you would find RNA.

What is the nucleus and the cytoplasm?

400

This is where mRNA delivers its message to from DNA.  

What is the ribosome?

400

Amino acids are the building blocks of these organic compounds.  

What are proteins?
400

This is produced as a result of gel electrophoresis.

What is a DNA fingerprint?
500

This is where you would find DNA in a cell.  

What is the nucleus?

500

This is the acronym for RNA.

What is ribonucleic acid?
500

This is the RNA code for this DNA sequence: 

TTT-ATC-GTA 


What is AAA-UAG-CAU?

500

This occurs if there is a change in the DNA sequence.

What is a mutation?
500

DNA fingerprints are used in these types of scenarios.  

What are crime scenes, paternity tests and to determine connections between species?
