Question
Answer
Process in which mRNA ( messenger) is synthesized from the template DNA   transcription  
🗑
Process in which mRNA attaches to the ribosome and a protein is assembled   translation  
🗑
A self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the carrier of genetic information in chromosomes   DNA  
🗑
A nucleic acid that is single-stranded and plays a major role in carrying out (completing) protein synthesis ( protein making)   RNA  
🗑
Twisted-ladder shape of DNA, formed by two nucleotide strands twisted around each other   Double Helix  
🗑
Permanent change in a cell's DNA, ranging from changes in a single base pair to deletions of large sections of chromosomes   Mutation  
🗑
Complex process where the original(parent) strands of DNA in a double helix are separated and each one is copied to produce a new identical daughter strand.   replication  
🗑
Sequence of three DNA or three RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis   Codon  
🗑
The building blocks of all biological proteins, linked together via peptide bonds in a particular order as directed by genes   Amino Acid  
🗑
Building block of nucleic acids, an organic compound made up of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group   Nucleotide  
🗑
an allele that is expressed in an organism's phenotype when present   Dominant  
🗑
Genes expressing the phenotype ONLY when the allel pair is identical and will be masked when paired with a dominant allele   Recessive  
🗑
Building block of matter containing subatomic partricles   Atom  
🗑
A system that includes all living organisms (biotic factors) in an area as well as its physical environment ( abiotic factors)   Ecosystem  
🗑
Layer of earth that supports life   Biosphere  
🗑
Substance(s) that exists before a chemical reaction starts; located on the left side of the arrow in a chemical equation   Reactant  
🗑
Substance(s) formed by a chemical reaction; located on the right side of the arrow in a chemical equation   Product  
🗑
The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of higher plants, which is primarily involved in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis   Chlorophyll  
🗑
Cell organelle that helps synthesize(make) proteins   Ribosome  
🗑
Substance that releases hydrogen ions ( H+) when dissolved in water; has a sour taste and a pH less than 7   Acid  
🗑
Substance that releases hydroxide ions ( OH-) when dissolved in water; tastes bitter and feels slippery or slimy to the touch; pH greater than 7   Base  
🗑


   

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.
