An example of gene regulation, __________ control differentiation in cells- starting in the embryo- to ensure that all an organism's “parts” end up in the correct spot

During DNA replication, what enzyme is responsible for building two new complementary strands to match the two original ones?

True or False: DNA is generally a stronger, more stabile molecule that RNA.

When a gene is turned “on” and the protein is being coded for we say that it is:

Which type of RNA "reads" the message from DNA, in order to interpret which amino acids are needed?

During DNA replication, what enzyme is responsible for "unzipping" the double helix?

Which of the following is NOT a part of a tRNA molecule?

Nucleotides in an mRNA strand that actually code for proteins and will be “expressed” are kept during the proofreading process of protein synthesis. These sections of nucleotides are called:

Using complementary base pairing, create a complementary strand DNA strand to the following:

ATCCGTAAG

Which type of RNA carries the needed amino acids to the ribosomes in order to build the protein?

Which type of RNA carries a copy of the genetic information found in DNA to the ribosomes?

Use the codon circle to figure out which amino acid CAG codes for:

Which of the following is NOT a part of a nucleotide?

The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are:

Which type of chromosome mutation is shown in the picture?

(Click the image to make it bigger)

Which type of gene mutation is being shown below?

Original strand: GCUAAC

Mutated strand: GUAAC

True or False: All mutations contribute to genetic variation in living things, which is a good thing from an evolutionary standpoint.
