Answer 1

Here are the responses to your questions:

Question 1: What molecule stores the genetic instructions that determine an organism's traits, and codes for protein synthesis?

• DNA

Question 2: What is happening in translation?

• Information from mRNA is used to produce proteins

Question 3: Complete the sentence that follows, using the word bank provided.

• DNA contains the nitrogenous base thymine, which is replaced by uracil in RNA.

Question 4: What is the function of mRNA in cells?

• Carrying genetic information from DNA to the ribosome

Question 5: Use the codon chart below to determine the bases that will code for the amino acid Methionine (Met).

• Methionine (Met) is coded by the codon AUG.
  • First Base: Adenine
  • Second Base: Uracil
  • Third Base: Guanine

Question 6: Identify the mutations in the image below, using the word bank provided. (Note: Since I cannot see images, I cannot provide specific names for the mutations. Please refer to your word bank for the identification based on what you see.)

Question 7: Label the parts of DNA in the image below, using the word bank provided. The parts you will label are the blue, pink, and yellow structures only. (Note: Similarly, without an image, I can't assign labels, but typical labels would be "Sugar", "Phosphate", and "Nitrogenous base". Please refer to your word bank for specifics.)
