DNA STRUCTURE	TRANSCRIPTION	TRANSLATION	PROTEIN SYNTHESIS	CHALLENGE QUESTIONS
100 What is the nitrogen base which compliments Adenine? Thymine	100 What does "transcribe" mean? To make a written copy of something	100 Where does translation take place and what attaches to the mRNA strand? In the cytoplasm of the cell, the mRNA attaches to a ribosome	100 What is another word(s) for protein? polypeptide chain or amino acid chain	100 What is the Human Genome Project? A project whose goal is to find the sequence of nitrogen base pairs which make up human DNA, also to identify and locate each gene in the human genome
200 What is the DNA "backbone" made of? Sugar and Phosphate	200 What do you call the new strand that is being created during transcription? RNA or mRNA	200 The ribosome reads the mRNA in groups of three nitrogen bases. What is this group of three letters called? a codon	200 What are three things that protein is used for? to build our muscles, to form our hair, to shape our eyes, to pump our heart, to color our skin, to form structures in our body, etc.	200 How many types of amino acids are there? 20
300 What is holding the nitrogen bases together? Weak Hydrogen bonds	300 Where does the mRNA go when it is complete? It leaves the nucleus to find a ribosome	300 What carries the amino acids to the ribosome? the tRNA	300 What is the codon "AUG" also known as? a start codon	300 What are genetically identical copies of an organism called? clones
400 How does such a long strand of DNA fit into the nucleus of a cell? It is very tightly packed and twisted together to form chromosomes	400 What are the four nitrogen bases in mRNA? Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, and Cytosine	400 What are the three letters called that compliment the codons on the mRNA strand? anticodons	400 What are the three types of RNA? rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA	400 A mistake or change in the DNA sequence can result in what? a mutation
500 What is so important about DNA? DNA is the instruction booklet of the cell, it contains all the information needed for the cell to function. DNA tells the cell what to do and how to do it.	500 What is the name of the enzyme which copies the DNA strand to create RNA? RNA polymerase	500 What amino acid does CAA code for? Glutamine	500 What are the 3 components(parts) of a nucleotide? a nitrogen base (A,T,C, or G), a sugar, and a phosphate group	500 If one strand of DNA contains the base sequence AGATCA, what would the complimentary strand be? What would the mRNA strand be? Which 2 amino acids would the mRNA sequence code for? complimentary strand TCTAGT mRNA strand UCUAGU amino acids Serine and Serine
