If you were in the sun and obtained skin cancer, can it be passed down to your children?
A really bad doctor took X-Rays of a patient’s leg. The doctor didn’t give the patient a protective lead apron to wear over the
genital region and the patient’s gametes (sperm or egg cells) were severely mutated as a result of the high powered rays. Will
this mutation be passed down the offspring?
The Ribosome shifts along the mRNA over to the next codon __
The polypeptide chain becomes the actual protein by folding into the correct shape that will help it perform its function. __
tRNA carrying methionine attaches to mRNA with help of the anticodon __
The stop codon is reached and the polypeptide chain is released __
A new tRNA lands next to the first tRNA and the amino acids form a peptide bond __
The empty tRNA leaves the ribosome and the growing polypeptide chain remains on the second tRNA __
A ribosome attaches to the start codon (AUG) on mRNA __
What is the amino acid sequence from this mRNA? UUCAUGCCAGAUGGGUAUACUAAAUAGAAC

What is the central dogma and finish the order by placing the following words in correct order below (RNA, protein, trait,
DNA)
_______ _______ ______________
DNA to DNA is called ____________________
RNA to Protein is called ___________________
DNA to RNA is called ____________________
Protein to Trait is called ___________________
5. Suppose that you are given a polypeptide sequence containing the following sequence of amino acids:
