DNA, Replication, Central Dogma

Front

What do DNA and RNA have in common?

Back

Both contain phosphate groups.

Front

If the structure of DNA were likened to a ladder, what would make up the “supporting structure” (not the “rungs”) of the ladder?

Back

sugar-phosphate molecules

Front

What is the complimentary mRNA sequence to the DNA sequence A-T-T-G-C-A?

Back

U-A-A-C-G-U

Front

Which defines a codon in mRNA?

Back

three-base code

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins called?

Back

Amino Acids

Front

The "central dogma" states that genetic information flows from

Back

DNA-->mRNA-->Protein

Front

Where does transcription take place? Options: cytoplasm, ribosome, mitochondrion, nucleus

Back

nucleus

Front

The anticodon of a particular tRNA molecule is

Back

complementary to the corresponding mRNA codon.

Front

The parts of a gene that do NOT code for amino acids in a protein are called (Options: introns, exons, codons, anticodons)

Back

introns

Front

The production of mature mRNA in eukaryotes involves: cutting introns out and splicing exons together, adding the 5' cap, adding the 3' poly A tail.

Back

all of these are correct
