The organelle in which
the DNA is located.
What is the nucleus?
The structure comprised of
a sugar, a phosphate
group, and a nitrogen base.
What is a nucleotide?
The sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
Double-ringed nitrogen
bases (A and G).
What are Purines?
Who are James Watson
& Francis Crick?
The number of strands in
an RNA molecule.
What is one?
(i.e., single-stranded)
The three ways in which
RNA differs from DNA.
What are single-stranded,
the sugar is ribose, and
the nitrogen base, uracil,
replaces thymine?
The type of RNA that
brings information from
the DNA in the nucleus
to the cytoplasm.
What is messenger RNA
(mRNA)?
The role of RNA
in the cell.
What is protein assembly?
The name of RNA.
What is ribonucleic acid?
The process in the
nucleus where enzymes
make an RNA copy of a
DNA strand.
What is transcription?
The process most similar
to transcription.
What is DNA replication?
The order of nitrogen
bases in mRNA
determines the order of
amino acids, which
ultimately determines
this type of organic
compound.
What is a protein?
The tRNA anticodon that
bonds with the mRNA
codon U-G-U.
What is A-C-A?
The process of converting
the information in a
sequence of nitrogen
bases in mRNA into a
sequence of amino acids
that make up a protein.
What is translation?
The process by which
DNA makes a copy
of itself.
What is replication?
The shape of a molecule
of DNA.
What is helical?
(i.e., double helix)
The weak bonds that hold
the base pairs.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The complementary DNA
strand of A-T-G-C-T-A.
What is T-A-C-G-A-T?
The name of DNA.
What is deoxyribonucleic
acid?
What is the discovery of
the helical structure of
DNA?
Who was Gregor Mendel?
What is an x-ray of a
DNA molecule taken by
Rosalind Franklin?
The insects first used by
Thomas Morgan to study
chromosomes.
What are Drosophila?
(Fruit flies)
Oswald Avery’s most
notable contribution to
the field of genetics
(Hint: he continued the
research of Griffith—mice and
bacteria experiments).
What is the discovery of
DNA as the agent
responsible for the
transfer of genetic
information?
