3. These are the three molecules found in an RNA nucleotide. (Give the sugar’s full name)

4. What is ribose, phosphate, and a base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil)?

5. AUCGGAUCA is a sequence of (pick one: DNA or RNA)

6. What is RNA?

7. This is where transcription takes place.

8. What is the nucleus?

9. The strand of DNA that bonds with RNA nucleotides to make an mRNA molecule is called this.

10. What is the template strand?

11. If a strand of DNA is TACGGC, this is the mRNA sequence that it transcribes.

12. What is AUGCCG?

13. In translation, this is molecule that bonds to mRNA.

14. What is a tRNA?

15. Every 3 nucleotide bases on mRNA is called a/an _____, and the 3 corresponding nucleotide bases on a tRNA is called a/an ______.

16. What is codon, anticodon?

17. The image depicts the ______. (give the formal scientific term)

18. What is the genetic code?

19. DAILY DOUBLE! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

20. If a DNA sequence is TTC GAG, what will the mRNA and tRNA sequences be?

21. What is AAG CUC; UUC GAG?

22. DAILY DOUBLE! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

23. If a tRNA sequence is AGG UCC, this is the amino acid sequence.

24. What is Serine-Arginine?

25. This is what mRNA and tRNA are short for.

26. What are messenger ribonucleic acid, and transfer ribonucleic acid?

27. This is the organelle where translation takes place in the cell.

28. What is the ribosome?

29. Every tRNA anticodon specifies one of these.

30. What is an amino acid?

31. This is how many nucleotides code for five amino acids.

32. What is 15?

33. These are the codons which specify the amino acid threonine.

34. What are ACA, ACC, ACG, and ACU?

35. This is what a mutation is.

36. What is a change in a DNA sequence?

37. If the DNA sequence ATGCCG is mutated to TTGCCG, this was an example of a/an:A. Insertion mutationB. Deletion mutationC. Point or Substitution mutation D. Chromosomal abnormality

38. What is C. Point or substitution mutation?

39. This is why a frameshift/insertion/deletion mutation is more likely to have a severe effect on a trait than a point/substitution mutation.

40. Because a point mutation changes one amino acid at most, while a frameshift mutation changes the entire sequence after it happens.

41. If a DNA sequence is mutated from AGG GGT to AGC GGT, this will be the effect on the amino acid sequence.

42. No effect; the amino acid sequence will still be Serine-Proline.

43. This is why a mutation can change an organism’s trait.

44. What is: Because a change in the DNA sequence changes the sequences of mRNA, tRNA, and amino acids, which changes the structure of the protein, which changes its function, which results in a different trait?

45. Along with lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, amino acids are one family of this.

46. What are macromolecules?

47. The most important element in the chemical makeup of living things is this, while the other three most important ones are these.

48. What is carbon; what are hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen?

49. This is the shape by which an amino acid can be recognized.

50. What is a central carbon, with a molecular group above, below, and on either side, with one group being a variant R-group?
