Transcription
In transcription, DNA is used as a template to make this molecule
What is mRNA?
Translation converts mRNA into a chains
What are amino acids?
DNA is made of 4 bases
What are G (guanine), A (adenine), C: (cytosine) and T (thymine)?
The "strong" trait that shows up as a phenotype.
What is dominant?
Humans have a total of "this many" chromosomes in each body cell.
What is 46?
Transcription takes place in this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
Where in the cell does translation occur?
What is the ribosome?
The shape of a DNA molecule?
What is a double helix?
The "hidden" trait.
What is recessive?
Different versions of a gene.
What are alleles?
RNA is to uracil as __________ is to DNA.
What is Thymine?
Amino acids are brought to the ribosome by this molecule.
What is tRNA?
This enzyme "unzips" the DNA strands during replication?
What is helicase?
An organism with two identical alleles for a trait.
What is homozygous?
A change or mistake in the DNA sequence.
What is a mutation?
This enzyme adds RNA nucleotides to build a strand during transcription.
What is RNA polymerase?
mRNA has the codon that tRNA matches with.
What is an anticodon?
DNA replication is called semi-conservative.
Does a new DNA molecule contain one old strand and one new strand?
An organism with two different alleles for a trait.
What is heterozygous?
This disease affects the shape of red blood cells, making them crescent-shaped and causing pain and fatigue.
What is sickle cell anemia?
Histine, methionine, and aspartic acid represent a certain type of molecule.
What are amino acids?
After translation is complete - it makes this large molecule.
What is a polypeptide?
DNA replication occurs during a specific time.
What is S Phase / Interphase?
The observable traits of an organism.
What is phenotype?
This autosomal recessive disorder causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system.
What is cystic fibrosis?
