What is DNA and how is it made?
There is no right or wrong answer, this is simply what you think!
You can use the blue plus sign in the upper right of the response box to choose "Audio" or "Video" to record yourself instead of typing.
What 3 components make up a nucleotide?
In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with and cytosine (C) pairs with
When one DNA molecule is replicated, the result is two DNA molecules. What is true of the second DNA molecule?
Place the nucleotides in the correct order to create a complimentary strand of DNA.
How does DNA give instructions to produce proteins?
There is no right or wrong answer, this is simply what you think!

Match the RNA types with the description of their role.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
mRNA (messenger RNA) | arrow_right_alt | Brings amino acids to ribosomes, where they are joined together to form proteins. |
rRNA (Ribosomal RNA) | arrow_right_alt | Copies the genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus, and carries the instructions to the cytoplasm. |
tRNA (transfer RNA) | arrow_right_alt | Helps form ribosomes, the organelle where proteins are assembled. |
In RNA, adenine (a) pairs with and cytosine (c) pairs with

| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Translation | arrow_right_alt | The process of creating an mRNA strand from one side of DNA |
DNA Replication | arrow_right_alt | The process of using mRNA to build chains of amino acids |
Transcription | arrow_right_alt | The process of duplicating a strand of DNA |

What can happen if there is a copying error during DNA replication, transcription, or translation?
