Download TEST PREP DNARNA Structure and Protein Synthesis

TEST PREP DNA/RNA Structure + Protein Synthesis
1. Draw a picture of the DNA molecule. Label the parts of DNA and list out how the bases pair
together. What kind of bond is made between the base pairs?
2. What is a nucleotide – outline it’s parts:
3. What part of the DNA is where the “instructions” are stored? How does this relate to why we look
different?
4. Compare and Contrast DNA and RNA:
5. What occurs during Replication? Where does it take place?
6. What would the compliment strand be of the following DNA strand that would be produced during
replication:
a. A G C T T A G C C T A G C G A
b. What would the mRNA Strand of the compliment that would be made during Protein
Synthesis?
c. What would the tRNA strand be to the mRNA above?
d. How many codon’s are in this strand?
e. How many Amino Acids would make up the protein that is produced from this strand?
7. What is the purpose of Protein Synthesis?
a. Outline the 2 steps of Protein Synthesis: Include where it takes place in the cell and
what Nucleic Acid it starts with and what Nucleic Acid it ends with
8. Identify the two types of RNA and their function and location in the cell.
9. What are Amino Acids? What type of bond links them together?
