What is the base pair rule? Why is it important
ANSWER : In DNA Adenine always bonds to Thymine Cytosine always bonds to Guanine This allows DNA to act as its own template for replication
The point where the 2 DNA strands separate is called the …
ANSWER: Replication Fork
What enzyme unzips the DNA molecule?
ANSWER: Helicase
The strand of DNA where replication happens continuously is called the …..
ANSWER: Leading strand
Binding site for RNA polymerase?
ANSWER : Promoter region
Part of RNA molecule that are spliced back together to form mRNA
ANSWER: Exons
How is RNA processed on the 3’ end? 5’ end?
ANSWER : 5’ – methylation capping 3’ – polyadenylation (poly A tail)
What is determines the reading frame? What can a reading frame shift do?
ANSWER: Start and stop codons Mutation or it can cause an aborted translation process
Name three differences between RNA & DNA
ANSWER: 1. DNA Sugar Deoxyribose RNA - ribose 2. DNA double stranded RNA – most single stranded 3. DNA – Thymine RNA - Uracil
Causes translation to end?
“Stop” codon
What enzyme adds nucleotides along a DNA strand during ? In what direction does this occur?
ANSWER: DNA Polymerase All DNA synthesis occurs 5'-3'. The original DNA strand must be read 3'-5' to produce a 5'-3' strand.
What are Okazaki fragments? What enzyme processes them?
ANSWER: Discontinuous fragments of DNA made on the lagging strand. Ligase
What amino acid codon initiates translation in eukaryotes?
ANSWER: AUG
What is the coding unit?
ANSWER: The section of DNA being copied into mRNA during transcription

What is the structure of a ribosome?
ANSWER: Made from ribosomal RNA and Proteins Made up of small and large subunits
DAILY DOUBLE
What is an anti codon? Where is it found? What does it do?
ANSWER: Three nucleotides complementary to a codon on mRNA Found on tRNA Deliver amino acids to the ribosome

ANSWER: tRNA
What is the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology?
ANSWER:
What does semi conservative replication mean?
ANSWER: The resulting DNA includes one original strand and one new strand One original strand is “conserved” or saved.
What is “anti parallel” mean?
ANSWER: DNA is oriented in the opposite direction, causing continuous synthesis ion one strand and discontinuous on the other
What does RNA primase do?
ANSWER: Allows the RNA primer to attach to a parent DNA strand. All primers are RNA!!
