Having two of the same genes for the trait (sometimes called purebred).

• homozygous
• hetrozygous
• protein
• chromosome

What do we call the process of turning DNA into mRNA?

• Translation
• Transcription 
• Replication

When DNA is transcribed to RNA.... 

• A pairs with U
• C pairs with U
• A pairs with T
• C pairs with T

In translation, C pairs with 

• U
• G
• A
• T

Which of the following best describes a DNA molecule? 

• contains ribose 
• made of amino acids
• contains Uracil
• double helix

Where does transcription take place?

• nucleus
• cytoplasm
• ribosome

One difference between DNA and RNA is that....

• Only RNA has the base Uracil
• only RNA contains the base Thymine
• only RNA contains the base Cytocine
• only RNA contained the base Guanine

True or false:  RNA is double-stranded.

• true
• false
• it depends on the type
