DNA Structure
Why is DNA called "semi-conservative"
Each new DNA molecule contains one original (OLD) strand and one newly synthesized strand.
What is the ribose?
DNA is called this because it is made of two intertwined strands that twist around each other in a spiral shape.
What is a double helix?
The monomer for Nucleic Acids
What are Nucleotides?
When DNA replication occurs.
When is S phase or Synthesis?
This molecule is single-stranded.
What is RNA?
The site of protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome(rRNA)?
What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?
What t opens the strand of DNA.(unzips)
What is an Helicase?
The nitrogen base that RNA has instead of Thymine (T)
What is Uracil (U)?
Short pieces of DNA(spare parts) used to make the lagging strand of DNA.
What are Okazaki fragments?
The charge of a proton, a neutron, and an electron.
(Has to be in order, left to right!)
What is +,0,-?
This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains three molecules).
What is nucleotide?
What is TGCAGG?
If the DNA sequence is GCAATC, this is the mRNA sequence.
What is CGUUAG?
A collection of DNA that is 33% Cytosine (C) will have this much Guanine (G).
What is 33%?
This biomolecule is used as a quick source of energy
What is Carbohydrate (carb)?
The 3 parts of a nucleotide.
What is phosphate, sugar, base.
What enzyme adds nucleotides to DNA?
What is a DNA polymerase?
The location that mRNA goes to with its copy of the DNA message
Where is the ribosome or rRNA?
A sample of DNA has 28% Cytosine (C) so it will have this amount of Adenine (A).
What is 22%?
When a protein is in conditions that are too hot or too acidic, they do this.
What is denature?
