DNA and Genetics

A strand of DNA is coded as ATGGCATTGCGT. A mutation occurs and the strand now CTGGCATTGCGT, what kind of mutation is this?

• Meiotic Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Cancer

Which base does not belong in RNA?

• T

• C

• A

• U

If one side of a DNA molecule is GTCC, what will the other side be?

• TTTA

• TGAA

• CAGG

• CCAA

tRNA

• (transfer RNA) a type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome to make a protein

• DNA mutation in which one or more pairs of nucleotide are removed from a gene.

• (RNA) A single-stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose and Uracil (instead of thymine)

• An enzyme that makes the primer that directs DNA polymerase

Correct base pairing

• G-C

• A-C

• T-G

• G-G

Cell division where daughter cells have half number of chromosomes as parent

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

• Transcription

• Translation

Making DNA message into RNA

• Transcription

• Meiosis

• Watson and Crick

• Phenotype

The shape of DNA

• Double Helix

• Trait

• Meiosis

• Artificial selection/selective breeding

The instructions an organism needs to develop, live, and reproduce

• DNA

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Genetic Engineering

Two alleles/letters that are the same for the same trait (A,A) or (a,a)

• Homozygous

• Genetics

• Adenine
