Fill in the blanks:

According to Chargaff's Rule, in a DNA molecule, there is always equal percentages of _________ and _________. There are also equal percentages of _________ and _________.

According to Chargaff's Rule, in a DNA molecule, there is always equal percentages of adenine and thymine. There are also equal percentages of guanine and cytosine.

400

Before DNA replication can start, what 2 changes to DNA's structure need to happen?

DNA needs to unwind and unzip to prepare for replication

400

What is strand C?

mRNA

400

__________: DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. 

_________: tRNA delivers the amino acids in the code of mRNA to the ribosome.

transcription uses DNA as a template to make mRNA. translation is when tRNA delivers the amino acids in the code of mRNA to the ribosome. 

400

Is this a frameshift or point mutation?

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY: (must answer the first question correctly first)  What type of mutation is shown?

Frameshift. 

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY: 

Insertion mutation, a Guanine base has been inserted in the 4th base spot

What does Mitosis have to do with a paper cut?

Mitosis is responsible for the creation of identical somatic (body) cells. This process is important in the healing process such as growing new skin to heal a paper cut. 

500

What process is being shown in the image below?

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY: (must answer the first question correctly first)

Explain why this process is "semi-conservative".

DNA Replication

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY: 1 strand from the parent DNA molecule is pairs with 1 new strand in each of the strands created during DNA replication. As such, half of the parent strand is "conserved" in each new strand during DNA replication.

You want to test T-Rex blood to see what DNA nitrogen bases make up the blood sample. The blood is 22% Guanine, solve for the other 3 nitrogen bases. 

Guanine = 22%

Cytosine = 22%

Adenine = 28%

Thymine = 28%

500

Explain the differences between the job of mRNA and the job of tRNA.

mRNA carries the "code" for which amino acids are needed to make a specific protein. mRNA binds to the ribosome and is read by tRNA. tRNA reads the mRNA by binding a matching anticodon to mRNA's codon. tRNA then goes to the cytoplasm and picks up amino acids that it brings to the ribosome. tRNA delivers the amino acids so they can bond together to build the desired protein.

500

Transcription happens in the.....

**DOUBLE JEOPARDY: (must answer the first question correctly first)  Translation happens in the....

Transcription: the nucleus

Translation cytoplasm & ribosome are both acceptable, additional points for saying BOTH
