DNA/ RNA
This type of nucleic acid has deoxyribose sugar and is double-stranded.
What is DNA?
The first step of DNA replication
What is DNA unwinds and unzips?
This type of mutation exchanges one base for another.
What is a substitution mutation?
Use the Amino Acid Decoding Sheet to determine the amino acids for the mRNA codon CCG.
What is proline?
This nucleic acid is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
What is RNA?
The three-letter sequences that code for amino acids in mRNA.
What are codons?
This is one cause of genetic mutations.
What is DNA failing to copy accurately? or Enivonmental/ checmical factors
Use the Amino Acid Decoding Sheet to determine the amino acids for the mRNA codons AGC AAA.
What are serine and lysine?
This process results in two identical DNA strands.
What is DNA replication?
What process occurs when a strand of mRNA is created using DNA as a template?
What is transcription?
A mutation that results from extra base pairs being inserted into the sequence.

Use the Amino Acid Decoding Sheet to determine the amino acids for the mRNA codons UGA and UGG.
What are STOP and tryptophan?
In DNA, adenine pairs with this base.
What is Thymine?
The process of decoding mRNA into amino acids to build proteins.
