This is the primary enzyme responsible for DNA replication; it "reads" DNA strands and attaches complementary bases in the correct sequence.

Which biomolecule is primarily responsible for the storage of the genetic information necessary for an organism to perform all of its functions?

DNA replication produces two new DNA molecules, each of which contains one old strand and one newly-synthesized strand. For this reason, we say that DNA replication is:

These molecules are the "building blocks" of DNA and RNA:

This enzyme is responsible for unwinding/"unzipping" the DNA double helix during the first step of DNA replication:

The three components of a nucleotide are a pentose sugar (either deoxyribose or ribose), a phosphate group, and a_____________________

The overall structure of a DNA molecule can be described as a:

The small segments of DNA that DNA Polymerase III creates on the lagging strand during replication are called:

This is the enzyme that finishes the process of DNA replication by connecting the many Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand:

During the finishing stage of DNA replication, this enzyme is responsible for replacing the RNA primers with DNA nucleotides.

Please select the correct complement for this DNA sequence: AAT CAT GTA CGC GGG

This is the type of bond that holds together the complementary bases of the two strands of the DNA double helix :

True or False: The full names of the DNA nucleotides are Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Guanine

The end of a DNA strand that has a phosphate group is called the:

The end of a DNA strand that has a deoxyribose sugar is called the:

Which of these is a correct description of the steps and enzymes involved in DNA replication?

The nitrogenous base that is only found in RNA and that replaces Thymine is called:

This is the type of RNA that carries the genetic instructions encoded by DNA out of the nucleus to a ribosome where it can be converted into a protein:

This is the second stage of protein synthesis; in this stage, a ribosome reads mRNA codons and assists in assembling a chain of amino acids that will become a protein:

This is a specific sequence within an organism's DNA that encodes a specific protein; it is the basic unit of genetic information.

This type of RNA molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation; when its anticodon binds to a matching codon, the amino acid it carries is added to the growing protein.

This type of molecule is the basic building block of proteins. Each different type of this molecule has a unique functional group called an R-group or a side chain.

This is the first stage of protein synthesis; it occurs in the nucleus, and involves the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA:

These are the 3-nucleotide units within mRNA transcripts that each code for a specific amino acid.

Using the genetic code table (you may need to open your notes to find a bigger version if it does not load right in this quiz), translate this mRNA codon sequence into an amino acid sequence
