Who discovered the basic rules of genetics? Charles Darwin Gregor Mendel Rosalind Franklin James Watson Nikola Tesla What does a nucleotide consist of? Sugar, base, phosphate sugar, base, protein amino acids sugar, proteins, lipids base, acids, amines What is transcription? RNA information copied to RNA DNA information used to make a protein RNA information copied to DNA DNA information copied to RNA RNA information used to make a protein What is translation? RNA information copied to RNA DNA information used to make a protein RNA information copied to DNA DNA information copied to RNA RNA information used to make a protein In DNA, The base A always pairs with _____ and G always pairs with ______. T ellipsis C C ellipsis T G ellipsis A A ellipsis G U ellipsis C If a DNA strand was ATTGCA, what would be the complementary RNA strand? TAACGT ATTGCA UAACGU GUUATG ACGTTA What is gel electrophoresis used for? To generate a DNA fingerprint to amplify small fragments of DNA to determine the correct amino acids for specific DNA codons to genetically modify food products to seperate DNA from RNA What is the benefit of genetically modified (GM) food? farmers can charge more; increasing profits eliminates the need for federal regulation can grow then in labs; no need for farms faster growing, insect resistant crops there is no need to include it on food labels What is a gene? a sequence of DNA that codes for a carbohydrate a group of 3 DNA nucleotides that codes for one specific amino acid a transfer RNA molecule that carries a specific amino acid the site on a ribosome where amino acids are assembled a sequence of DNA that codes for a specific protein What is one way RNA differs from DNA? RNA is double stranded, DNA is not RNA uses the base U, where DNA uses T RNA is never found in the nucleus, DNA is always in the nucleus RNA is a long chain of amino acids, DNA is not RNA docs not store information, DNA does
