it's in everything

it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things

4

because we eat it every day for energy

A frameshift mutation is an insertion or deletion that changes the codons for the rest of the DNA - it moves everything forward or back by 1 or more nucleotides so the ribosome reads it wrong!

Which of the following best describes a DNA molecule?
1
double helix
2
contains ribose
3
made of amino acids
4
contains Uracil

15

Multiple Choice

A T T T G A G C C- Original
    A T T G A G C C  - Mutated
The example above is an example of a :
1
Insertion- Frameshift
2
Deletion- Substitution
3
Deletion -Frameshift
4
All of the above

16

Multiple Choice

Why are insertion and deletion mutations so harmful?
1
They change all of the codons from the mutation on down the line, which changes the amino acid sequence
2
They insert things that an organism doesn't need.
3
They often delete things that organisms need.
4
Insertion and deletions are not any more harmful than substitution mutations.

17

Multiple Choice

mRNA is read in chunks of three, called...
1
quadralets
2
anticodons
3
codons
4
capsids

18

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements describes processes that occur during DNA replication?
1
A DNA sequence is read by RNA polymerase, which produces another RNA strand complementary to the first strand.
2
Two free-floating single strands of DNA are joined by polymerase. The polymerase finds the point at which the two strands will match up into a double strand.
3
Messenger RNA are decoded by a ribosome to produce an amino acid chain. In the cell's cytoplasm, transfer RNA join the messenger RNA, forming a polypeptide.
4
A double-stranded DNA molecule is unwound into single strands. Polymerase matches the right nucleotides to the single strand so that each forms a double strand of DNA.

19

Multiple Choice

The genetic code is universal. This means...

1

All living things share the same DNA, RNA, Amino Acids, and Proteins

2

All living things just have the same DNA

3

All living things have a nucleus

4

All living things build the same amino acid chains but use different DNA bases
