Tag the questions with any skills you have. Your dashboard will track each student's mastery of each skill.
DNA is a single helix structure
This scientist's work on X-Ray Crystallography resulted in Watson and Crick being able to calculate the structure of DNA as a double helix.
What type of sugar is found in DNA nucleotides?
Which nitrogen base is not found in DNA
Thanks to Chargaff's Rules, Watson and Crick were able to figure out how base pairing works in DNA. For example, if 20% a DNA molecule contains Adenine, then what amount of Guanine would it contain
What is the most common structure of RNA
What base does RNA have that DNA does not have?
What type of sugar is found in RNA nucleotides?
What is the first step of DNA replication
What is the second step of DNA replication?
Which enzyme is responsible for making new DNA strands during DNA Replication?
What is the final step of DNA replication?
What are proteins composed of?
How many amino acids are used by organisms to make proteins?
Where does transcription take place?
What is made from a DNA strand during transcription?
Which enzyme is responsible for making RNA from DNA?
Which kind of RNA carries the protein message out of the nucleus
How many bases make up an mRNA codon
If a DNA strand reads ATT CGT CTA, what would the mRNA strand read?
Where does translation take place?
How many bases code for one amino acid
Which kind of RNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome?
Transfer RNA or tRNA matches to the mRNA using its own group of three bases called a(n) ____
If a DNA strand reads ATT CGT CTA, what would the eventual tRNA anticodons be?
Determine the amino acid sequence from this mRNA:
AUG UAC GAA GGG CAC UGA
In this gene mutation, a base (or bases) is/are deleted or lost, shifting the reading frame to the left.
In this gene mutation, a base substitution changes the amino acid that should have been in the sequence
In this gene mutation, a base substitution does NOT change the amino acid that should have originally been in the sequence
In this gene mutation, a base substitution changes the amino acid that should have originally been in the sequence to a "STOP" codon
Determine the original DNA from this amino acid sequence:
Met - Trp - Phe - His - STOP
