• Loopy Starter
• You have 15 seconds to answer

2
Question 1

• Where in the cell is the genetic code (DNA)
  located?
• The nucleus

3
Question 2

• Where in the cell are proteins produced
  (synthesised)?
• The cell cytoplasm

4
Question 3

• How does the information in the genes get from
  the nucleus to the cytoplasm?
• A copy is produced (mRNA) and sent from the
  nucleus to the cytoplasm

5
Question 4

• What are the bases that make up DNA?
• A, G, T C

6
Question 5

• How do the DNA bases pair up?
• A to T and G to C

7
Question 6

• What are proteins made up of?
• Amino acids

8
Question 7

• What is triplet code?
• Three bases code for one amino acid

9
Question 8

• How do bases control what proteins are produced?
• Three bases code for one amino acid, proteins are
  made of amino acids

10
Question 9

• What is a ribosome?
• It reads the genetic code of bases so it can join
  the amino acids together in the correct order

11
Question 10

• What happens if there are mistakes in the order
  of the bases?
• Mutations in the making of proteins
