DNA Challenge
• As a group, quietly discuss each
question and agree upon one
correct answer. The group with the
most correct answers will win.
1 of 15) Along with a phosphate and
nitrogen base, name the other part of a
DNA nucleotide.
2 of 15) Perform transcription and match
the proper nitrogen bases to the given
strand of DNA .
3 of 15) Perform DNA replication and
match the proper nitrogen bases to the
given strand of DNA .
4 of 15) Name these two fellows who
discovered the shape of DNA in the 1950’s.
5 of 15) Structurally, list two ways that
DNA and RNA differ.
6 of 15) Three enzymes have
been discussed thus far: DNA
Helicase, RNA polymerase, and
DNA polymerase.
Part A: During DNA replication,
which enzyme breaks the
hydrogen bonds allowing the
DNA to separate?
Part B: During transcription,
which enzyme breaks the
hydrogen bonds allowing the
DNA to separate?
7 of 15) Which RNA makes up
ribosomes?
8 of 15) Which process creates identical
strands of DNA?
9 of 15) What is the final destination of
mRNA?
10 of 15) Which pair of DNA bases shows a
mutation?
11 of 15) What is a section of our DNA
called that makes a protein?
12 of 15) Two
part question:
a. How many
nucleotides are in
this picture?
b. Name the type of
bond between A/T
and between C/G?
13 of 15) Three part
question:
a) What color are
the nitrogen bases?
b) What color are
the sugars?
c) What color are
the phosphates?
Choices: Orange, Blue, Green
14 of 15) Which RNA transports amino
acids to the ribosome?
15 of 15) The red letters represent introns and the blue
are exons.
A. Performs transcription on all the nucleotides and
record the mRNA letters that will be created.
B. After mRNA processing, list the final mRNA that will
leave the nucleus and move towards a ribosome.
