Answer 1

Nucleus->chromosomes->genes->DNA

Question 2

Base code ONLY match each other

Answer 2

A+T

G+C

Question 3

Shape of DNA

Answer 3

Double stranded helix

Question 4

The point of DNA is …

Answer 4

To make proteins

Question 5

C
G
A
T

Answer 5

Cytosine
Guanine
Adenine
Thymine

Question 6

Back bone of DNA

Answer 6

Each base is attached to a phosphate molecule and a sugar molecule to make a molecule of DNA called neucleotide

Question 7

mRNA

Answer 7

mRNA IS single stranded whereas DNA is double

Question 8

DNA has to make its way from the nucleusto the ribosomes so that proteins can be made

Answer 8

mRNA is a copy which leaves the nucleus towards the ribosome

Question 9

When the mRNA strand meets the ribosome …

Answer 9

The ribosome reads the mRNA strand and uses the order of the base pairs to produce a protein by joining amino acids together

Question 10

What is synthesised at the ribosome to make the protein?

Answer 10

Amino acids
