VOCAB QUIZ

1. The Central Dogma is... a: Amino acid coding sequence of three nucleotides b: Movement of nucleic acid-based information about cells is classically considered to be contrained c: The synthesis of a final product (such as a protein or rRNA or tRNA) initially templated from a gene

2. Replication is... a: Amino acid coding sequence of three nucleotides b: the information in RNA is used to create a protein c: When all of an organism's DNA is copied. For humans, that means copying around 3 billion base pairs each time the DNA in a cell is replicated. Because faithful DNA replication is so important, organisms have a number of ways to ensure replication accuracy.

3. A Gene product... a: is literally, the product of a gene though more precisely the final, in some way useful product of a gene b: process of creating a complementary RNA copy of a sequence of DNA c: When all of an organism's DNA is copied. For humans, that means copying around 3 billion base pairs each time the DNA in a cell is replicated. Because faithful DNA replication is so important, organisms have a number of ways to ensure replication accuracy.

4. RNA polymerase is... a: an enzyme that produces RNA b: the information in RNA is used to create a protein c: When all of an organism's DNA is copied. For humans, that means copying around 3 billion base pairs each time the DNA in a cell is replicated.

5. Transcription is...

a: is literally, the product of a gene though more precisely the final, in some way useful product of a gene b: the process of creating a complementary RNA copy of a sequence of DNA c: When all of an organism's DNA is copied. For humans, that means copying around 3 billion base pairs each time the DNA in a cell is replicated. Because faithful DNA replication is so important, organisms have a number of ways to ensure replication accuracy.
