Question
The three parts of this are a sugar, base, and
phosphate…
Answer
a nucleotide
Question
What do we call the process of making a
new dna molecule from an old one?
Answer
Semi-conservative Replication
Question
A dna nucleotide is made of what three parts (full
names!)?

Question
What are the three types of RNA and what
do they do?
Answer
mRNA – messengertRNA – transfer
rRNA – ribosome
Double JEOPARDY
• How much do you wish to wager?
Double JEAPORDY Question
What is the name of the 3 bases on tRNA that match with mRNA?
Double JEAPORDY Answer
anticodon
Question
Which type of RNA is involved in
transcription and why?
Answer
mRNA makes a copy of the DNA strand
because DNA can’t leave the nucleus
Question
Carried by t-rna, these molecules will end up being put together to
make proteins.
Answer
Amino acids
Question
What are the three differences between
DNA and RNA?
Answer
1. RNA is a single strand and DNA is double-stranded.
2. RNA hasuracil instead of thymine.
3. RNA has ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose.
Question
If the dna code being used is ATGC,
What would the tRNA code be?
Answer
AUGC
DNA: ATGCmRNA: UACGtRNA: AUGC
Question
Which cell organelle that makes proteins?
Answer
The ribosome
Question
Which type of bonds form between amino
acids?
Answer
Peptide bonds (hence a string of amino acids is called a Polypeptide)
Question
Which type(s) of RNA are involved in
translation?
Answer
mRNA and tRNA
Question
After the polypeptide is made, which
organelles can fold it?
Answer
Either the golgi apparatus or the rough
ER
Question
What are the two steps of protein synthesis and where do they
take place?
Answer
1. Transcription – nucleus2. Translation – ribosome
(in the cytosol or rough ER)
