Nucleic Acids
type of nucleic acid that is in the nucleus
DNA
the location of transcription
nucleus
primary structure
point mutation that could result in a samesense or a missense
substitution
what codes for an enzyme
a gene
mRNA
the organelle that translation occurs on
ribosome
type of structure describes the number of sheets and helices in a protein
point mutation where one or more nucleotides are removed from the sequence
deletion
the first substrate of a metabolic pathway is known as
initial OR principal
tRNA
the start codon codes for this amino acid
methionine
can be a fully functioning protein, but only made up of one polypeptide chain
tertiary structure
point mutation that results in a frameshift of amino acids
insertion or deletion
one of the products that serves as a substrate for the a subsequent enzyme reaction
intermediate
rRNA
haemoglobin, made up of 4 polypeptide chains is known as this type of structure
quaternary
when the amino acids downstream of the mutation are incorrect due to an insertion or deletion
frameshift
accumulation of intermediate substrate/product
DNA strand that is a direct copy of the mRNA strand, except U is T
coding strand
Name one of the stop codons
UAA, UAG, or UGA
type of secondary structure where the amino acid chain forms a helical structure because of hydrogen bonds
alpha helix
samesense mutations are a result of the ___ or ___ of the code
redundancy or degeneracy
a mutation that results in a temperature-sensitive enzyme will __ it at particular temperatures
denature
