| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Explain the relationship between DNA, Genes, and Proteins | A gene is a set of instructions to assemble the proteins: DNA is the molecule that carries the instructions |
| Outline the basic steps in making a protein | Each group of genes has three basic codes for one amino acid, A sequence of amino acids are linked to make a proteins. Proteins are assembled in the cytoplasm that is assisted by RNA |
| Describe 3 types of mutations and provide an example of a gene | Insertion- extra base added Deletion- base left out Substitution- wrong base used |
| Describe 2 examples of genetic knowledge | Transfering genes between species, DNA fingerprinting, cloning, genetic patents, gene therapy |
| List 3 events that led to understanding the structure of DNA | Franklin made images of DNA molecules Chargaff discovered rules of nucleotide base pairings Watson and Crick made a model of DNA Scientists discover DNA is not made up of all proteins, but sugars phosphates, bases |
| Describe the basic structure of a DNA molecule | DNA is a twisted ladder, with 2 halves of long nucleotides , rungs are complementary bases |
| Explain how DNA molecules can be copied | Each had a complementary base, so DNA can be duplicated accurately |
