DNA is double stranded. Both strands are said to be...

complementary

500

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Phosphate group, sugar, and base (A, T, C, or G)

RNA

100

the shape of RNA.

single stranded

200

The sugar in RNA

ribose

300

Base that is only found in RNA

U - uracil

400

The START codon

AUG

500

REPLICATION

100

This is being replicated

DNA

200

A - T and G - C

300

Enzyme that proofreads new DNA strands

DNA polymerase

400

Enzyme that unzips DNA before replication

DNA helicase

500

During DNA replication, a DNA strand that has the bases ATT  CGA  CAT produces a complementary strand with the bases ...

TRANSCRIPTION

100

This is transcribed

DNA

200

DNA transcribed to this

mRNA

300

The base pair rules for transcription.

A-U T-A G-C

400

Why does transcription take place?

DNA cannot leave the nucleus and therefore must be transcribed to mRNA to leave the nucleus.

500

Organelle in the cell where transcription takes place

nucleus

TRANSLATION

100

The end product of translation

polypeptide chain or protein chain

200

mRNA is "read" by this organelle to form a protein chain

ribosome

300

What are codons and what is it made of? Be specific.

Codons are three bases made up of (A, G, C, and/or U)

400

Type of RNA that "brings" amino acids to the ribosome

tRNA

500
