DNA (2 nd Half) Challenge DNA (2 nd Half) Challenge There are 20 questions – 5 from each DNA topic covered As a group, quietly discuss each question and agree upon one correct answer. The group with the most correct answers will win.
Mutations: 1 point Because agents such as UV radiation is known to cause DNA errors, it is an example of a _______. #1
Mutations: 2 points Which type of mutations do not cause damage to proteins? #2
Mutations: 3 points Name the type of cells that create the sperm and egg. #3
Mutations: 4 points Below is a strand of DNA: TAC CCG TTG AGG CCA GCG TTT The nucleotide colored red is supposed to be the letter T. Which amino acid will this mutation create? #4
Mutations: 5 points Examine the normal gene below. A C G T T T G C C A A G Now examine the same gene, only with an mutation. A C G T T G C C A A G What kind of mutation is this? #5
Replication: 1 point Genes are DNA instructions to create which type of organic molecule? #6
Replication: 2 points Which enzyme unzips the 2 strands of DNA at the beginning of DNA replication? #7
Replication: 3 points Name this molecule of DNA. #8
Replication: 4 points Name this pioneer in DNA research. #9
Replication: 5 points In which picture would DNA replication occur? #10
Transcription: 1 point (half each) Two part question: A)Where in a cell does transcription begin? B)End? #11
Transcription: 2 points Segments of mRNA that are not discarded and move towards the ribosome are called ____. #12
Transcription: 3 points (1 each) True or False -- Three part question: A)DNA and RNA have the same kind sugar. B)DNA and RNA have different nitrogen bases. C)DNA and RNA have the same type of phosphate molecule. #13
Transcription: 4 points How many different codons will create the amino acid called Serine? #14
Transcription: 5 points The red letters are introns. How many codons will arrive at the ribosome once the processing of introns and exons is finished? A G U G C C G A A C G U G A A C A U U A C #15
