Gene Mutation Chromosomal Mutation Gene Expression 1 Gene Expression 2 DNA RNA
The type of gene mutation that only affects a single amino acid.
What is a substitution mutation?
The type of gene mutation that causes all of the following nucleotides to move to the left one space.
What is a deletion mutation?
Daily Double!
Where is at the third base (nucleotide) in the codon?
Gene mutation that causes all the nucleotides that follow to move to the right one space.
What is an insertion mutation?
The term for the two types of mutations that affect all the remaining amino acids in the polypeptide.
What is a Frameshift mutation?
When a chromosome has a portion of genetic information repeated, this type of mutation has occurred.
What is a duplication mutation?
The type of mutation that involves the removal of a part of the chromosome.
What is a deletion mutation?
This series of images illustrates this type of chromosomal mutation. >
What is DNA helicase? What is an inversion mutation?
This is image is displaying this type of mutation.
What is an inversion mutation? What is a translocation mutation?
Daily Double! There have been cases of Males with chromosome XX. This is possible because of the translocation of this region.
What is the SRY gene?
The complementary base pair for Adenine in RNA.
What is Uracil?
The process of copying DNA onto mRNA.
What is transcription?
The first step of gene expression occurs here.
Where is the nucleus?
This enzyme creates mRNA by assembling free ribonucleotides complementary to the DNA.
What is RNA Polymerase?
These noncoding regions must be removed from the mRNA before it leaves the nucleus.
What are introns?
This step of gene expression when the polypeptide is assembled.
What is translation?
Locations in cytoplasm where translation takes place. ~two answers~ Daily Double!
What are the free floating ribosomes and Rough ER?
This RNA brings the monomers of proteins to the site of protein synthesis.
What is the tRNA?
The organelle where translation occurs.
What is the ribosome?
These codons signal to the ribosome that the polypeptide has been finished.
What are UGA, UAA, and UAG?
The term we use to refer to the structure of DNA.
What is a double helix or twisted ladder?
This sugar, found in DNA, lacks an oxygen when compared to the sugar of RNA.
What is deoxyribose sugar?
These are the four possible bases on DNA.
What are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine?
Organelle that stores and protects DNA.
What is the nucleus?
These are the building blocks of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
When compared to DNA the structure of the RNA molecule is referred to as…
What is single stranded?
The sugar of ribonucleic acid.
What is ribose?
These four nitrogen bases are found in ribonucleic acids.
What are adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine?
This is the role of -mRNA -rRNA -tRNA Daily Double!
What are to copy the info from DNA, a component of the ribosome, and brings the amino acid to the ribosome?
These are the three types of RNA. ~Full word, not just letter abbreviation~
What are messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA?
Topic: Mutations
The mutation between these two DNA stands will have this result on the final polypeptide. Original: TAC-CAT-GTC-AGC-ATT Mutated: TAC-GAT-GTC-AGC-ATT
Original DNA: TAC-CAT-GTC-AGC-ATT Mutated DNA: TAC-GAT-GTC-AGC-ATT
Original: TAC-CAT-GTC-AGC-ATT mRNA: AUG-GUA-CAG-UCG-UAA AAs: Met-Val-Glu-Ser Mutated: TAC-GAT-GTC-AGC-ATT mRNA: AUG-CUA-CAG-UCG-UAA AAs: Met-Leu-Glu-Ser
Daily Double!
