Instructions for using this template. Remember this is Jeopardy, so where I have written “Answer” this is the prompt the students will see, and where I have “Question” should be the student’s response. To enter your questions and answers, click once on the text on the slide, then highlight and just type over what’s there to replace it. If you hit Delete or Backspace, it sometimes makes the text box disappear. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand, not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)
Choose a category. You will be given the answer. You must give the correct question. Click to begin.

RNA A little of everything Mutations 10 Point 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points 10 Point 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points Protein Synthesis DNA
Replicate the following DNA: CTAGGTTAG
GATCCAATC
Where is the DNA located in both Pro- and Eukaryotes?
In Prokaryotes, the DNA is free floating in the cytoplasm In Eukaryotes, the DNA is safely contained within the nucleus
What forces need to be broken when DNA strands are separated?
Hydrogen bonds between nucleotides
What are the three parts to a DNA molecule
1. Deoxyribose (5-C sugar) 2. Phosphate Group 3. Nitrogenous Base
Who determined the shape and structure of the DNA molecule
Watson and Crick
What is a promoter?
A binding site for RNA polymerase (not a “start” sign)
How many codons are needed to specify for 3 amino acids?
Three
Which type of RNA functions as a blueprint of the genetic code?
mRNA
What does the following sequence code for? UUUCGGGUCUAA
Phenylalanine, Arginine, Valine, STOP
How is DNA different from RNA?
1. RNA is single stranded 2. The 5-C Sugar 3. No “T” in RNA (Uracil replaces it)
What is the process of going from DNA to RNA called?
Transcription
What are Hox genes?
A basic body plan
What is “D”
tRNA
What process is being illustrated here?
Translation
You are given the following: ATGGCG What amino acids will this code for?
ATG GCG UAC CGC Tyrosine, Arginine
What is “C”
A Ribosome
What are the three types of RNA and what do they do?
mRNA rRNA tRNA
What is a frameshift mutation
The entire reading frame (the three letter frame) is shifted due to deletions or duplications
Which structure is a codon?
F
How are “codons” and “anticodons” related?
The codons and anticodons have complementary bases The amino acid depends on the tRNA’s anticodon
What is a Gene Mutation?
Involve changes in only a few nucleotides.. Known as point mutations
What is “A”
Deletion
What is “C”
Inversion
What is Polyploidy?
Polyploidy is when an organism has extra sets of chromosomes
In what way can mutations be “good”??
Increases genetic diversity. Provides an array of genes and expressions. Drives evolution.
Make your wager
Provide a DNA strand (double helical… meaning include its complement) that would ultimately code for the following protein: Lysine—Lysine—Glycine— Cysteine—Leucine— Phenylalanine—Serine—XXX
Why are there many different answers???????? Who is correct??
