Term
Definition
nucleic acid   DNA and RNA are this type of biomolecule  
🗑
mRNA   carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome to make a protein  
🗑
rRNA   found on the ribosome  
🗑
tRNA   has an anticodon and brings in the amino acid  
🗑
RNA   single strand, contains uracil, has ribose sugar  
🗑
DNA   double strand, contains thymine, has deoxyribose sugar  
🗑
DNA and RNA   phosphate-sugar backbone, nucleic acids, adenine, guanine, cytosine, nucleotides  
🗑
transcription   DNA to mRNA  
🗑
translation   mRNA to protein  
🗑
replication   DNA to DNA  
🗑
mutation   change in the DNA sequence that affects the genetic information  
🗑
point mutation   substitution is an example; usually only affects one amino acid  
🗑
frameshift mutation   insertion and deletion are examples; usually changes entire message

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
