Main Idea: Replication

​Essential Details:

1. Occurs in nucleus

2. Enzymes control the process

3. Result: 2 identical double helixes

4. Semi-conservative - One old strand one new

Multiple Select

Which of the following shows the correct base pairing rule?

• Adenine and Thymine

• Cytosine and Guanine

• Cytosine and Adenine

• Guanine and Thymine

Multiple Choice

Which of the following BEST describes the molecules produced after replication?

• There is one completely new DNA helix and one old DNA helix

• There are 2 completely new DNA helixes

• There are 2 DNA helixes; each helix contains one old strand and one new strand

• There are 2 DNA helixes; each strand on each helix has some onld and some new nucleotides

Main Idea: Transcription

Essential Details:

1. RNA polymerase separates DNA and

2. is used to make mRNA (messenger RNA)

3. RNA differs from DNA

4. by Ribose sugar, single strand and Uracil

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT one of the ways RNA is different from DNA?

• Uracil

• Ribose

• Single stranded

• Phosphate group

Multiple Choice

What does the "m" in mRNA stand for?

• mega

• mini

• messenger

• multi

Main Idea: Translation

Essential Details:

1. RNA hold the instructions

2. RNA goes to ribosome

3. Amino acids are linked

4. Until a protein is formed

Open Ended

Why do you think "messenger" is a good descriptor of mRNA?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the monomer for proteins?

• Amio Acids

• Nucleic Acids

• mRNA

• tRNA

Open Ended

So what? What do you think is important to understand about this?

So what?

DNA creates proteins by being transcribed into RNA and then RNA goes to the ribosome to build proteins from amino acids.
