| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Shaped like a Double stranded helix | Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) |
| The genetic blueprint found in the nucleus | Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) |
| Contains A, T, G, C | Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) |
| The Copy of DNA code that goes from nucleus to ribosome (mRNA) | Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) |
| Is a Single strand | Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) |
| Contains A, U, G, C | Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) |
| When DNA is copied to make another strand just before a cell divides | Replication |
| The first step to make a protein | Transcription |
| When DNA is copied as mRNA so that the code can be taken to the ribosome | Transcription |
| Happens in the nucleus | Transcription |
| The second step to make a protein | Translation |
| When mRNA is used to make an amino acid chain (a protein) | Translation |
| Happens at the ribosome | Translation |
| Any change in the nitrogen base sequence | Mutation |
| Is only passed on to the next generation if it happens in reproductive cells | Mutation |
