1 - $100 What does DNA stand for? What about RNA? Deoxyribonucleic acid Ribonucleic acid

1 - $200 What are the three components of a DNA nucleotide? Deoxyribose, phosphate group, nitrogen base

1 - $300 What is the result of DNA replication? Two identical DNA strands; each contains half of the original strand

1 - $400 Which nitrogen bases pair together in RNA? Adenine & Uracil; Guanine & Cytosine

1 - $500 Where and when does DNA replication take place? In the nucleus before cell division

2 - $100 In what decade did scientists race to discover the structure of DNA? 1950s

2 - $200 Who is famous for studying the genetics of pea plants and the inheritance of traits? Gregor Mendel

2 - $300 What DNA model did Watson & Crick create? The Double Helix Model—looks like a twisted ladder

2 - $400 Why is Rosalind Franklin important to the study of genetics? Her Photo 51 led to the discovery of the Double Helix model

2 - $500 Who won the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA? James Watson & Francis Crick

3 - $100 What smaller components make up proteins? Amino acids

3 - $200 What is a codon? A three-base “word” that codes for an amino acid

3 - $300 What is DNA sequencing? Scientists sequence DNA by determining the order of all nucleotides

3 - $400 What are two differences between RNA and DNA? DNA: Double-stranded, deoxyribose, ATCG, stays in nucleus RNA: Single-stranded, ribose, AUCG, carries message out of nucleus

3 - $500 What are the three types of RNA, and what does each type do? Ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA, transfer RNA

4 - $100 What are the three types of gene mutations? Insertion, deletion, substitution

4 - $200 Exposure to what increases the likelihood of a mutation occurring in your DNA Mutagen or an example of a mutagen

4 - $300 We talked about a specific example of a chromosomal mutation. What is the disorder characterized by an extra chromosome #21? Down Syndrome

4 - $400 When can mutations be passed from parent to child? Mutations in sex cells can be passed on

4 - $500 Describe a specific example of a beneficial mutation Ex: polyploid crops, antibiotic resistance, insecticide resistance

5 - $100 What is polyploidy? Having an extra set of chromosomes

5 - $200 What is an example of a harmful mutation people can have and still survive Cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia

5 - $300 How are telomeres related to aging? As telomeres are shortened, genes are more likely to be damaged during DNA replication

5 - $400 What are transcription and translation? Describe

5 - $500 Put the following in order of size (smallest to largest): nucleus, gene, nucleotide, chromosome Nucleotide, gene, chromosome, nucleus

Final Jeopardy What RNA strand would be made from a DNA strand the has the following order of bases: TCGAATGGC AGCUUACCG
