        Help!  

Question
Answer
Is DNA single stranded or double stranded?   double stranded  
🗑
What shape is DNA?   double helix  
🗑
How many bases are there in DNA?   4  
🗑
What four bases make up the genetic code?   Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine  
🗑
Which base does Adenine pair with in DNA?   Thymine  
🗑
Which base does Guanine pair with in DNA?   Cytosine  
🗑
In which cell structure are proteins made?   Ribosome  
🗑
In which cell structure is DNA found?   Nucleus  
🗑
DNA makes a copy of itself to carry the genetic code out of the nucleus. What is this copy called?   mRNA  
🗑
Is mRNA single stranded or double stranded?   Single stranded  
🗑
How many bases are needed to make 1 amino acid?   3  
🗑
What are the building blocks of protein?   Amino acids  
🗑
Why can the DNA molecule not leave the nucleus?   Double stranded molecule is too big  
🗑
What is the function of mRNA?   It Carries a Complementary Copy of the Genetic Code from the Nucleus to the Ribosome.  
🗑
What is the function of DNA?   Carries the genetic information for making proteins.  
🗑
What is a gene?   A section of DNA which codes for proteins.  
🗑
What are the two strands of DNA held together by?   Complementary base pairs.  
🗑
If the base sequence on the genetic code changes, what happens to the amino acid sequence in proteins?   The amino acid sequence will change.  
🗑
If the amino acid sequence changes this will affect the proteins ____________ and _____________.   Shape and Function.  
🗑
What are the five types of protein?   Enzyme, Hormone, Antibodies, Receptors and Structural  
🗑
What is the function of enzymes?   Biological catalyst that speeds up reactions.  
🗑
What is the function of hormones?   Chemical messengers that travel in the bloodstream.  
🗑
What is the function of Antibodies?   Defend the body against pathogens.  
🗑
What is the function of receptors?   Binds to a specific hormone at the target tissue to cause a response  
🗑
What is the function of structural proteins?   Provides support in the cell membrane.  
🗑
Describe how different types of proteins can be produced.   Different DNA base sequence would result in different proteins being made.  
🗑


   

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.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
