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?
DAILY DOUBLE
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?
