These are the three molecules
found in an RNA nucleotide.
(Give the sugar’s full name)
What is ribose, phosphate, and a
base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, or
uracil)?
AUCGGAUCA is a sequence of
(pick one: DNA or RNA)
What is RNA?
This is where transcription takes
place.
What is the nucleus?
The strand of DNA that bonds
with RNA nucleotides to make an
mRNA molecule is called this.
What is the template strand?
If a strand of DNA is TACGGC,
this is the mRNA sequence that it
transcribes.
What is AUGCCG?
In translation, this is molecule that
bonds to mRNA.
What is a tRNA?
Every 3 nucleotide bases on
mRNA is called a/an _____, and
the 3 corresponding nucleotide
bases on a tRNA is called a/an
______.
What is codon, anticodon?
The region of a chromosome that
codes for one protein is called
a/an ________
What is a gene?
DAILY DOUBLE!
Both teams will have time to work on
this question, you need not be the first
raised hand to answer it.
Choose up to 1000 points to wager.
Your wager must be less than your
current point total.
If a DNA sequence is TTC GAG,
what will the mRNA and tRNA
sequences be?
What is AAG CUC; UUC GAG?
DAILY DOUBLE!
Both teams will have time to work on
this question, you need not be the first
raised hand to answer it.
Choose up to 1000 points to wager.
Your wager must be less than your
current point total.
If a tRNA sequence is AGG
UCC, this is the amino acid
sequence.
What is Serine-Arginine?
This is what mRNA and tRNA are
short for.
What are messenger ribonucleic
acid, and transfer ribonucleic
acid?
This is the organelle where
translation takes place in the cell.
What is the ribosome?
Every tRNA anticodon specifies one
of these.
What is an amino acid?
This is how many nucleotides code
for five amino acids.
What is 15?
These are the codons which
specify the amino acid threonine.
What are ACA, ACC, ACG, and
ACU?
This is what a mutation is.
What is a change in a DNA
sequence?
If the DNA sequence ATGCCG is
mutated to TTGCCG, this was an
example of a/an:
A. Insertion mutation
B. Deletion mutation
C. Point or Substitution mutation
D. Chromosomal abnormality
What is C. Point or substitution
mutation?
This is why a
frameshift/insertion/deletion
mutation is more likely to have a
severe effect on a trait than a
point/substitution mutation.
Because a point mutation changes
one amino acid at most, while a
frameshift mutation changes the
entire sequence after it happens.
If a DNA sequence is mutated from
AGG GGT to AGC GGT, this will be
the effect on the amino acid sequence.
No effect; the amino acid sequence
will still be Serine-Proline.
This is why a mutation can change
an organism’s trait.
What is: Because a change in the
DNA sequence changes the
sequences of mRNA, tRNA, and
amino acids, which changes the
structure of the protein, which
changes its function, which results in
a different trait?
This is a very long supercoiled
strand of DNA, tightly wound
around proteins and made up of
regions called genes.
What is a chromosome?
This is the molecule in the
backbone (or outside) of DNA
that nucleic acids bond to.
What is deoxyribose?
These are the three components
of a nucleotide.
What are deoxyribose/sugar, a
phosphate, and a nucleic
acid/base/nitrogenous base
DNA Replication results in two
DNA molecules,
A. each with two new strands.
B. one with two new strands and one
with two original strands.
C. each with two original strands.
D. each with one new strand and one
original strand.
What is D. each with one new strand
and one original strand?
DAILY DOUBLE!
Both teams will have time to work on
this question, you need not be the first
raised hand to answer it.
Choose up to 1000 points to wager.
Your wager must be less than your
current point total.
If one strand of DNA is
TAGGATCAGA, this is the
sequence of the other strand.
What is ATCCTAGTCT?
