Transcription
Transcription is
The process by which the message from DNA is written down into RNA
Translation is
The process of building a polypeptide chain (protein) from the mRNA strand
franklin found
photo 51
DNA is
a double-stranded molecule capable of replicating and determining the inherited traits by regulating the process of protein synthesis
What is the purpose of enzymes
Speed up reactions and lower activation energy
Adenine (A's)
Found in both DNA and RNA. Goes with both T's and U's
Codon is
A three base sequence on the mRNA use to code for one amino acid
watson was the one who
discovered the structure of DNA
Nucleotide is
a building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.
Where does DNA replicate
In the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell
Guanine (G's)
In DNA, Cytosine (C's) go with what other nucleotide?
Ribosome is
The location where translation takes place
griffith's experiment
injected mice with harmful and nonharmful strains of bacteria the first time the harmful killed the mice and nonharmful didnt kill them the second time the harmful treated with head did not kill the mice
a double helix is
DNA that is double stranded and twisted like a ladder
What is the function of DNA
Storage of genetic information
Uracil (U)
In RNA, Adenine (A's) go with what other nucleotides
Amino Acids are
The units that make up a protein; each amino acid is coded for by one codon
avery's experiment
purified pathogenic bacteria and tried to transform it into nonpathogenic bacteria only DNA worked to change/transform used heat to kill bacteria
repeated Griffith's work did this experiment to determine which molecule was important for the transformation
what is adenine
the nucleotide that hydrogen bonds with thymine
What is the structure of DNA
Double Helix
Guanine (G's)
In RNA, Cytosine (C's) go with what other nucleotide
A Peptide Bond is
The bond that connects amino acids to make a protein
hershey and chase experiment
studied viruses and how the affect bacteria
viruses called bacteriophages viruses must reproduce to infect a cell tested sulfur 35 and phosphorus 32
when the virus stayed on the outside it did not affect anything when the virus went inside it affected the DNA
Thymine is
the nucleotide that hydrogen bonds with adenine.
What is the compliment nitrogenous base to Thymine?
Adenine
