Forensic Science
Comparing DNA found at crime scene to DNA from suspects to identify a match
DNA Testing
Stores the genetic information in the order and arrangement of its bases. It's located in the nucleus of our cells and is too big to leave.
DNA
DNA has how many strands?
2
The making of proteins in our bodies. There are two steps in the process: transcription and translation.
Protein Synthesis
The 1st of two processes during protein synthesis
Transcription
When someone who observed the crime describes the event and identifies the person they believe committed the crime
Eye Witness Testimony
Building blocks of nucleic acids. Hass three parts: Base, sugar, and phosphate.
Nucleotide
DNA has what type of sugar?
deoxyribose sugar
The building blocks of proteins.
Amino Acids
A group of 3 bases in mRNA that determines which amino acid gets added next to the growing polypeptide chain
Codon
Analysis that compares bitemark pattern of a suspect with a bitemark left on a victim’s skin
Bitemark analysis
DNA Shape
Double Helix
The DNA Nucleotide is made up of?
one deoxyribose sugar, one phosphate molecule, and one nitrogenous base
The chain of amino acids. One or more fold and twist together to make the final protein
Polypeptide chain
The site of translation.
Ribosome
Analysis that compares characteristics of hair left at a crime scene to hair of suspect. Hair is analyzed under a microscope.
Hair Microscopy
One of four biomolecules. There are two types. They are made up of nucleotides.
Nucleic Acid
___________are made up of long strands of DNA wrapped around ________
Chromosomes; Proteins
When the anticodon in tRNA match with the codon in mRNA at the ribosome, the tRNA drops off an amino acid to make a growing polypeptide chain.
Translation
________ is released after amino acid is removed
tRNA
When someone who is wrongfully convicted is later proven innocent and released from prison
Exoneration
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine
Chromosomes are located inside the
nucleus
A group of 3 bases in tRNA that connect to the codon to drop off the amino acid that goes with the codon
Anticodon
to find proteins you have to use what type of RNA
mRNA
