An organism that receives recombinant DNA
is a transgenic organism.
The DNA sequence 5' - ATCGATCG - 3' will pair with which of the following RNA strands?
2. 3' - UAGCUAGC - 5'
A three base sequence (loop) in tRNA that is complementary to a sequence of three bases in mRNA is a (an)
anticodon.
A diploid cell only has two copies of most genes, but can make hundreds of copies of a protein from those genes per second because during translation
multiple ribosomes can bind to the same mRNA simultaneously
The step of translation in which release factors bind to a stop codon is
Termination
The twisted ladder of DNA is composed of building blocks called
nucleotides
If the DNA in a cell consists of 20% A, it will be ___ T
20%
The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is
elongation.
The step of translation in which an mRNA, a small ribosomal subunit, and the initiator tRNA are aligned together is
initiation
In eukaryotic cells, sequences of mRNA that are removed from an mRNA molecule before being translated are
Introns
The type of RNA that helps align the ribosome and mRNA is
ribosomal RNA
A group of prokaryotic genes and other segments of DNA that are controlled together is a (an)
Operon

a molecule of DNA
The process used by cells to convert the mRNA "message" into a sequence of amino acids is
translation
Initiation, elongation, and termination are the three main steps in
transcription and translation
The type of RNA that carries each amino acid to the ribosome is
transfer RNA.
Transcription and replication occur during ____________________ of the cell cycle.
Interphase
DNA differs from RNA in that
DNA contains thymine.
A change in a cell's DNA sequence is

A diploid cell only has two copies of most genes, but can make hundreds of copies of a protein from those genes per second because during transcription
multiple copies of the same mRNA can be produced from one gene
The type of RNA that carries the information that specifies a protein is
messenger RNA.
How can a single gene encode for more than one protein?
by removing some exons during splicing of mRNA

hydrogen bonds
RNA differs from DNA in that
