2. The organelle in which the DNA is located.

3. What is the nucleus?

4. The structure comprised of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

5. What is a nucleotide?

6. The sugar found in DNA.

7. What is deoxyribose?

8. Double-ringed nitrogen bases (A and G).

9. What are Purines?

12. Who are James Watson & Francis Crick?

13. The number of strands in an RNA molecule.

14. What is one? (i.e., single-stranded)

15. The three ways in which RNA differs from DNA.

16. What are single-stranded, the sugar is ribose, and the nitrogen base, uracil, replaces thymine?

17. The type of RNA that brings information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

18. What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?

19. The role of RNA in the cell.

20. What is protein assembly?

21. The name of RNA.

22. What is ribonucleic acid?

24. What is transcription?

25. The process most similar to transcription.

26. What is DNA replication?

27. The order of nitrogen bases in mRNA determines the order of amino acids, which ultimately determines this type of organic compound.

29. The tRNA anticodon that bonds with the mRNA codon U-G-U.

30. What is A-C-A?

31. The process of converting the information in a sequence of nitrogen bases in mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up a protein.

32. What is translation?
