| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| RNA contains the sugar | ribose |
| Unlike Dna, Rna contains | Uracil |
| Which type of Rna brings the information in the genetic code from the nucleus to other parts of the cell? | mRNA |
| Which molecules are involved in protein synthesis? | messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA |
| from which molecules are mRNA molecules transcribed | DNA |
| How many nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids | 9 |
| A promoter is | binding site for RNA polymerase |
| What happens during translation? | the cell uses a messenger RNA code to make proteins |
| A protein is being assembled when | RNA is being translated |
| Genes contain instructions for assembling | proteins |
| In eukaryotes | DNA is transcribed into RNA in the nucleus |
| A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called | a point mutation |
| When a chromosome undergoes a deletion mutation, information is | lost |
| What are some characteristics of polyploidy plants | the plant is larger and produces more food (have an extra set of chromosomes) |
| Sickle cell disease is caused by | a monogenetic disorder (a mutation to one gene) |
| What happens when a person does not consume all of the essential amino acids in their diet | your body can't make them, so you may experience decreased immunity and/or other health issues |
| the anticodon that matches the codon AUG, which codes for methionine is | UAC |
| Which point mutation/s is/are a frameshift mutation | insertion and deletion |
| Putting foreign chemicals into living cells as well as exposure to high levels of energy are both considered | mutagens |
