DNA BASICS
This molecule stores genetic information in the cell.
DNA
The nucleotide bases of DNA
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
This enzyme “unzips” DNA during replication.
Helicase
This process converts DNA into mRNA.
Transcription
This process converts mRNA into protein. And where does it happen?
Translation, Ribosome
A nitrogenous base found in DNA but not in RNA.
Thymine
This strand is synthesized continuously.
Leading strand
This is the enzyme that adds new nucleotide bases to the parent or template strand to form a new DNA strand
DNA POLYMERASE III
The nitrogenous bases of RNA
ADENINE, URACIL, CYTOSINE, GUANINE
This structure/ organelle reads mRNA.
RIBOSOME.
The shape of DNA is described as?
Double helix
What do you call the short DNA fragments are formed on the lagging strand.
Okazaki fragments
This is the enzyme that links all the bases on the lagging strand together
DNA LIGASE
In transcription, thymine is replaced by this base.
URACIL
This molecule carries amino acids or matches anticodons to codons.
tRNA
This type of bond forms between the nitrogenous based on opposite strands to hold the double helix together.
Hydrogen Bonds
The name of the area where DNA begins to replicate/copy/divide
Replication fork
The enzyme that replaces the RNA primers on the lagging strand?
POLYMERASE I
This enzyme builds mRNA from DNA.
RNA POLYMERASE
This is the start codon.
AUG
What are the components of a DNA?
Nitrogenous bases, deoxyribose sugar and a phosphate backbone
A strand that copies from the 5' to the 3' end
Leading strand
This tells the DNA polymerase to begin adding new bases to the template LAGGING strand?
RNA PRIMASE
mRNA: AUG CTT
What is the Error?
T should be U
This happens when a stop codon is reached.
Translation stops and the protein is released
