Components of DNA, transcription, translation, genes

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Adenine   one of the base pairs, pairs with Thymine  
🗑
Thymine   one of the base pairs, pairs with Adenine  
🗑
Guanine   one of the base pairs, pairs with Cytosine  
🗑
Cytosine   one of the base pairs, pairs with Guanine  
🗑
Uracil   one of the base pairs in RNA ONLY (replacesThymine), pairs with Adenine  
🗑
Transcription   synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template  
🗑
Translation   when the sequence of bases of an mRNA strand is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein  
🗑
Polymer   molecule composed of 2 or more monomers; makes up biomolecules  
🗑
Monomer   small unit that makes up a polymer (mono + mono = poly)  
🗑
Synthesis   to place/put together; to build or make  
🗑
DNA   also known as Deoxyribonucleic Acid; the double-strand polymer made up of individual nucleotides  
🗑
Nucleotide   the monomer that makes up DNA and RNA  
🗑
RNA   also known as Ribonucleic Acid; the single-strand polymer made up of individual nucleotides  
🗑
Gene   sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait; factor that is passed from parent to offspring  
🗑
Nitrogen Base   a.k.a. Nitrogenous Base or Nitrogen Base Pair or Base Pair. Can be Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, or Guanine (or Uracil in RNA)  
🗑
Cell   smallest unit of life. Can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic  
🗑
Genetic Information   nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA, can be found in all organisms down to the smallest cell, as well as viruses  
🗑
Nucleus   where genetic information such as DNA is found, in eukaryotic cells only  
🗑
Ribosome   cell organelle found throughout the cytoplasm; site of protein synthesis  
🗑
Protein   biomolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON), needed by the body for growth and repair  
🗑
Gene Regulation   the process of controlling which genes in a cell's DNA are expressed (used to make a protein)  
🗑


   

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.
