Question 3

PROTEINS ARE MADE UP OF (…)

Answer 3

CHAINS OF MOLECULES CALLED AMINO ACIDS

Question 4

EACH PARTICULAR PROTEIN HAS ITS OWN PARTICULAR (…) AND (…)

Answer 4

Question 5

THE AMINO ACID CHAINS FOLD UP TO GIVE EACH PROTEIN A DIFFERENT, SPECIFIC (…)

Answer 5

SHAPE

Question 6

WHEN AMINO ACIDS HAVE DIFFERENT SHAPES THEY ALSO HAVE…

Answer 6

A DIFFERENT FUNCTION, THIS IS WHY ENZYMES HAVE ACTIVE SITES WITH A SPECIFIC SHAPE, AND SO ONLY CATALYSE A SPECIFIC REACTION

Question 7

A SECTION OF DNA THAT CODES FOR A PARTICULAR PROTEIN IS CALLED A (…)

Answer 7

GENE

Question 8

THE ORDER OF THE BASES IN A GENE DECIDED THE (…)

Answer 8

THE ORDER OF AMINO ACIDS IN A PROTEIN

Question 9

EACH AMINO ACID IS CODED FOR BY A SEQUENCE OF THREE BASES IN THE GENE CALLED A (…)

Answer 9

CODON

Question 10

DNA CONTAINS FOUR DIFFERENT BASES AND EACH CODON IN A GENE CONTAINS (….)

Answer 10

THREE BASES

Question 11

SO THERE ARE 4x4x4 (…)

Answer 11

64 POSSIBLE CODONS, SINCE THERE ARE ONLY 20 AMINO ACIDS SSOME CODONS CODE FOR THE SAME AMINO ACID

Question 12

DNA ALSO CONTAINS (…)

Answer 12

NON-CODED REGIONS

Question 13

MANY REGIONS IN A DNA ARE NON-CODED THIS MEANS…

Answer 13

THEY DONT CODE FOR ANY AMINO ACID
