Where DNA is found in eurkaryotic cells.

The monomer of DNA (and all other nucleic acids).

A reason why DNA is not found in the cytoplasm.

The scientists credited with the discovery of the structure of DNA.

A time when an organism’s cells go through DNA synthesis.

Most mutations are described as having this effect on an organism.

A mutation in which one nucleotide is switched for a different nucleotide.

A mutation which causes the reading frame to be incorrect.

A mutation in this type of cell will be passed on to the next generation.

Name a type of environmental factor that can induce mutations.

The organelle responsible for assembling amino acid chains in translation.

Where transcription takes place in the cell.

The term that describes a chain of amino acids.

The groups of three letters on the mRNA that code for amino acids.

The purpose of transcription.

What ribosomes are made of.

This RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome.

This sequence in front of a gene is a signal to the RNA polymerase to begin transcription.

mRNA can have these sections of its sequence removed prior to leaving the nucleus.

This sequence on the tRNA allows it to bring its amino acid to the correct location in the growing polypeptide.

A protein that is the incorrect shape will have this type of function.

The protein that is changed in the red blood cells of those affected by sickle cell anemia.

DNA’s double helix structure allows it to replicate using this mechanism.

If adenine is found in a sequence 20% of the time, then this percentage of guanine can be expected.

An organisms proteins determine what about that organism?

Enzymes are made by this organelle.

The function of helicase.

The product of DNA polymerase.

The substrate of RNA polymerase.

A mutation results in the production of RNA polymerase that is the wrong shape, causing this process to stop.
