Front

What part of the DNA molecule determines an organism's traits?

Back

Complementary base pairing determines an organism's traits.

Front

What is one purpose of transcription?

Back

To produce a sequence of bases that codes for the building of a specific protein.

Front

What does transcription create?

Back

A sequence of RNA bases that complements a sequence of DNA bases.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect how genes function.

Front

What is a frameshift mutation?

Back

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by insertions or deletions of nucleotides that shift the reading frame.

Front

What is a silent mutation?

Back

A silent mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that does not affect the resulting protein.

Front

What is the role of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
