DNA Challenge
• As a group, quietly discuss
each question and agree upon
one correct answer. The group
with the most correct answers
will win extra credit.
1 of 24) Name the 3 parts of a
nucleotide.
2 of 24) Which chemical will reunite
DNA during replication?
3 of 24) Who identified (full names) the
double helix structure of DNA back in 1953?
4 of 24) What is the final destination
of mRNA?
5 of 24) Which DNA bases create the
amino acid methionine?
6 of 24) What is the anticodon if
given the DNA bases TTA?
7 of 24) Which amino acid is
created from the DNA letters AGT?
8 of 24) Two part question:
A. Which molecules cut DNA at precise
locations?
B. What kind of organic compound are these
molecule?
