Structure of DNA
The shape of DNA.
Location of DNA Replication.
Three types of RNA.
What is mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA?
What is the product of transcription?
What is mRNA (must say m!)?
Location of translation.
What is the ribosome?
What is a mutation?
The type of sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
The enzyme that unzips the DNA.
What is helicase?
This base is not found in RNA, and this one IS.
What is Thymine and Uracil (must be in that order).
Location of transcription?
What is the nucleus?
This brings the correct amino acid to the mRNA sequence.
tRNA
Three ways a mutation can occur.
What is: inheritance, environmental factors, spontaneous mutation during replication.
The base that is found in DNA but not RNA.
What is Thymine?
The product of DNA Replication.
What is two identical DNA strands?
DNA is double stranded, RNA is single stranded.
Two things that are added to the beginning and end of the newly synthesized mRNA molecule.
What are the poly-A tail and a guanine cap.
Product of translation.
What is a protein.
Two main types of mutations.
What is substitution mutation and frameshift mutation?
The two categories of bases that are found in DNA.
What are Purine and Pyrimidines?
Reason DNA Replication would occur.
What is mitosis or meiosis?
Location of mRNA.
Made in the nucleus, but travels outside of the nucleus to the ribosome.
Non-coding regions that are cut out before the mRNA leaves the nucleus.
What are introns?
Another name for a protein.
What is a polypeptide?
Type of mutation where a stop codon is inserted prematurely due to a substitution mutation.
What is a nonsense mutation?
Scientist that took an x-ray diffraction picture of DNA, yet isn't often credited with helping to discover the structure of DNA.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
The enzyme that brings in freely floating DNA nucleotides.
What is DNA Polymerase?
Type of sugar found in DNA and RNA (give in correct order).
What is deoxyribose and ribose?
Enzyme that unwinds the DNA and brings in freely floating RNA nucleotides.
What is RNA Polymerase?
Type of bond that links amino acids together.
What is a peptide bond?
Type of mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence at all.
What is a silent mutation?
The three parts of a nucleotide.
What are: sugar, phosphate, base.
Phrase that means each new DNA strand has one side from the old DNA and one newly synthesized strand.
What is semi-conservative replication?
Anticodon is found on what type of RNA.
What is tRNA?
The codon regions, that are important and stay in the mRNA molecule.
What are the exons?
The site on the ribosome that the tRNA molecule arrives to.
Type of mutation that causes a shift in all nucleotides, therefore each codon after the mutation is affected.
What is a frameshift mutation?
