3. RNA is an example of this Biomolecule. What is a Nucleic Acid? 100

4. 200 Directs the order of amino acids in a protein based on the codons, which hold a copy of the genetic code for a protein. What is mRNA?

5. 300 Type of RNA that transfers a specific Amino Acid to the Ribosome and matches it anticodon with another type of RNA’s codon. What is tRNA?

6. 400 Forms the subunits of the Ribosome, the site of Protein Synthesis. What is a rRNA?

7. 500 The base __________ is unique to an RNA nucleotide. What is Uracil?

8. 100 Two processes that make up Protein Synthesis. What are Transcription and Translation?

9. 200 Process in which mRNA attaches to the Ribosome and the sequence of Amino Acids is determined by reading the mRNA. What is Translation?

10. 300 Process by which the genetic code is copied from a section of DNA and a strand of RNA is built What is Transcription?

11. 400 Type of bond that forms between Amino Acids to form a long chain, or Protein What is a Peptide Bond?

12. 500 Activity that occurs between Transcription and Translation, where sections of mRNA can be removed. What is mRNA Splicing?

13. 100 What is double helix? Shape of the Nucleic Acid DNA

14. 200 Function of the Nucleic Acid, DNA What is storage of genetic information?

15. 300 Deoxyribose, Phosphate group and Nitrogenous bases make up this building block of DNA What is a nucleotide?

16. 400 Segment of DNA at which transcription factors can attach and that signal the ‘starting’ place of a gene What is an Operon?

17. 500 True or False: DNA is a common component between living organisms and can be similar between different species. What is true?

18. 100 Any change to DNA that could have an affect on genetic information What is a Mutation?

19. 200 Type of mutation in which one or several nucleotide bases are altered What is a Point Mutation?

20. 300 Type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message What is a Frame-Shift Mutation?

21. 400 Mutation that causes changes in number and structure of entire chromosomes What is a Chromosomal Mutation?

22. 500 A mutation that occurs in this type of cell will most likely be transferred to the organism’s offspring What is a Gamete?

23. 100 Molecular unit of heredity in a living organism What is a Gene?

24. 200 Segment of DNA that is responsible for gene regulation What is an Operon?

25. 300 Three primary environmental factors that can have an effect on gene expression. What are Temperature, pH and Light Presence?

26. 400 True or False: If a mutation causes a change in DNA but does not cause a change in the Amino Acid sequence then protein made will be non-functional. What is False?

27. 500 The process of allowing a cell to show the physical characteristics that result from synthesizing proteins for a certain gene What is Gene Regulation?
