Chapters 16 & 17 Review Game

Front

What are the types of DNA mutations?

Back

Point mutations, substitutions, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations.

Front

Which RNA base pairs with TAC during transcription?

Back

AUG.

Front

What are the base pairing rules in DNA?

Back

A pairs with T, and C pairs with G.

Front

What is an anti-codon on a tRNA?

Back

A sequence of three nucleotides complementary to a codon in mRNA.

Front

What does Chargaff’s rule state about DNA base pairing?

Back

The amount of adenine is equal to thymine, and the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine.

Front

What is a point mutation?

Back

A change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence.

Front

What is a frameshift mutation?

Back

A mutation caused by insertions or deletions that shift the reading frame of the genetic message.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
