10What is the process of copying the DNA in the
nucleus called
11Transcription
12What does DNA do
13Gives instructions to the cell
14What was the name of the project that discovered
the number and sequence of the chromosomes
15Human Genome project
16Who discovered DNA and what did he use
17Dr. Mendel pea plants
18What does DNA Stand for

20What does tRNA do
21Brings amino acids to the ribosome
22What does tRNA stand for
23transfer RNA
24What role does tRNA play in protein synthesis
25Transports the amino acids to the ribosome
26What is the process of reading the tRNA called
27Translation
28How many types of amino acids can one piece of
tRNA bond to
29One amino acid
30Who was tRNA hypothesized by
31Francis Crick
32How many homologous chromosomes are there?
male-female
3322 male23female
34What is the definition of Genetics
35The study of heredity
36How many genes are there in the human body
3731,000
38Why can the DNA not leave the nucleus
39It is too large
40What two organelles have their own sets of DNA
and reproduce independently from the cell what
are the names of the DNA
41Mitochondria mitochondrialRibosome ribosomal
42What is the name of the process for making protein
43Protein synthesis
44What makes up a protein
45Amino acid
46Your body cannot make 6 amino acids where can you
get them
47From the food you consume
48What type of organism must be able to make all of
the amino acids
49Plants must be able to make all the amino acids.
Humans, on the other hand, do not have all the
enzymes required for the biosynthesis of all of
the amino acids.
50What amino acids can our bodies not make
51arginine (required for the young, but not for
adults), histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,
methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan,
and valine
