Scientist(s) who came up with the first model of DNA Who are Watson and Crick? Return

The sugar contained in DNA What is deoxyribose? Return

The subunits of DNA What are nucleotides? Return

The thing that makes one protein different from another. What is the order of amino acids? Return

What is Downs Syndrome? This occurs when an extra chromosome is present in a human being. Return

This can cause mutations. What are drugs? Return

DNA is shaped like this. What is a helix? Return

This is the segment of DNA controlling the production of one protein. What is a gene? Return

DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE

This is any permanent change in the genetic material of a cell. What is a mutation? Return

This is a molecule which carries amino acids to the ribosome. What is tRNA? Return

This is the nitrogen base found in RNA but not in DNA. What is uracil? Return

This breaks the bonds between nitrogen bases during replication. What is an enzyme? Return

This bonds with guanine. What is cytosine? Return

What are amino acids? These molecules make up protein. Return

This molecule carries the gene code out of the nucleus. What is mRNA? Return

This is the site in the cell where proteins are made. What is the ribosome? Return

This is the process of making an exact copy of DNA. What is replication? Return

This bonds with adenine. What is thymine? Return

These are found in the “rails” of DNA and RNA. What is phosphate? Return

FINAL JEOPARDY ? Replication

This is the reason DNA rarely makes mistakes when it makes a copy of itself. What is the parts of the DNA molecule only fit together one way?
