Question
Answer
Genes are made up of ........   DNA  
🗑
DNA contains information in ....... .....?   coded form  
🗑
The arrangement of the 4 different bases along the DNA strand will determine what type of .......... is made?   protein.  
🗑
Sections of DNA containing bases are called .......?   genes  
🗑
genes tell the body what type of ....... to make   protein  
🗑
DNA is made inside the ......... but proteins are made outside the .......   nucleus, nucleus  
🗑
What 3 nucleotide bases are present in both DNA and RNA?   Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G)  
🗑
What base is only in DNA   Thymine (T)  
🗑
What base is only in RNA   Uracil (U)  
🗑
Protein synthesis is the ......... of proteins?   making of proteins  
🗑
In Protein synthesis ......... ....... line up to form .......   amino acids line up to form proteins.  
🗑
What are the two processes involved in protein synthesis?   Transcription and Translation  
🗑
What is Transcription and where does it take place?   When the code contained on the DNA molecule is rewritten into a mRNA molecule. Takes place in the nucleus.  
🗑
The mRNA molecule is .........   mobile  
🗑
The mRNA leaves the ........ and enters the ...........   leaves the nucleus and enters the cytosol.  
🗑
How does the mRNA move into the cytosol?   via the nuclear pores  
🗑
The RNA e........ p........... causes the 2 strands of ........... to ............   The RNA enzyme polymerase causes the 2 strands of DNA to unwind.  
🗑
What does one of the chains act as?   A template  
🗑
What is this template for?   A guide the construction of an RNA molecule.  
🗑
The RNA enzyme polymearse moves along the ......... template. As it moves c........ n.......... are brought into place to make ...... ........   DNA template complementary nucleotides are brought into place to make an RNA chain.  
🗑
A in DNA pairs with ....... in RNA   pairs with U in RNA  
🗑
The enzyme ........ only a ......... length of DNA at a time   Transcribes only a gene length of DNA at a time  
🗑
Enzyme recognizes ....... and ...... codes   START and STOP codes  
🗑
Last Stage The newly formed ........ ........... moves through the ........ ........ into the .........   The newly formed mRNA molecule moves through the nuclear pores into the cytosol.  
🗑
2nd stage?   Translation  
🗑
What is Translation?   Translation is the decoding of genetic instructions to form a protein chain of amino acids.  
🗑
The information in mRNA is coded as sets of three bases or triplets called........   codons  
🗑
These triplet code for a specific ........ ........ and also code for ........... and .......... translation instructions/codes   code for specific amino acids and also cod for START and STOP translation instructions/codes.  
🗑
What happens when mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytosol?   It becomes attached to ribosomes  
🗑
What happens in the ribosomes?   Protein chains are formed  
🗑
What happens as the ribosome moves along the mRNA?   each codon is matches with it's complimentary anti-codon.

tRNA information is coded as sets of three bases or triplets called ....... ......   anti-codons  
🗑
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is attracted to the ...........?   attracted to the ribosome  
🗑
What happens when the tRNA molecules move into the ribosome?   they bring in amino acids.  
🗑
In Translation (mRNA and tRNA) A pairs with ...?   U (Uracil)  
🗑
In Translation (mRNA and tRNA) G pairs with ...?   C (cytosine)  
🗑
These amino acids join together to form a ....... .... ....... ........ or a polypeptide.   a chain of amino acids or a polypeptide  
🗑
Ribosomes are made up of ......... and ...........?   rRNA and proteins  
🗑


   

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.
