DNA Structure
The two parts of a nucleotide that are the sides of the DNA ladder
What are deoxyribose and phosphate?
The process of copying DNA before cell division
What is DNA Replication?
The sugar found in RNA.
What is Ribose
The process of copying DNA into mRNA.
What is transcription?
The “rungs” of DNA are formed by these molecules.
What are nitrogen bases?
The enzyme that unzips DNA during replication.
What is DNA helicase?
The nitrogen base found in RNA instead of thymine.
What is Uracil?
The process where mRNA is decoded to build proteins
What is translation
This type of bond holds the nitrogen bases together across the DNA ladder
What are hydrogen bonds?
This enzyme adds new nucleotides to build the new DNA strand.
What is DNA Polymerase III?
DNA is double-stranded while this molecule is single-stranded.
What is RNA?
The structure that carries the aminio acids to the ribosome
tRNA
DNA nucleotide contains these three parts.
Deoxyribose sugar, Nitrogen base, and phosphate group
DNA replication is called this type of process because each new DNA molecule has one original strand.
What is semi-conservative replication?
The organelle where DNA replication occurs.
What is the nucleus?
The organelle where proteins are assembled.
What is the ribosome?
