DNA
The process in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself
DNA replication
THe four nitrogenous bases that are found in RNA
adeninine, guanine, uracil, and cytosine
enzyme that forms phosphodiester bonds between okazaki fragments
ligase
the bonds that hold complementary base pairs together
hydrogen bonds
This scientists took the first photograph of DNA
Rosalind Franklin
The enzyme that unwinds DNA
Helicase
The part of the cell in which transcription and translation take place.
the nucleus, then the ribosome
the enzyme that lays down primers as starting points for DNA replication
primase
this part of DNA forms the "teeth" of the "zipper"
What are nitrogenous bases
frameshift and point are types of this
base mutations
THe part of the cell in which DNA replication takes place
Nucleus
The process that occurs at the ribosome in which an mRNA is used as a template on which to make a polypeptide
translation
leading strand
3' - 5' DNA strand
the three parts of a nucleotide
deoxyribose, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
These scientists created the double helix model of DNA that we know today
Watson and Crick
The enzyme responsible for laying down complementary base pairs in DNA replication
DNA polymerase (III)
the process of making an mRNA copy of a DNA molecule
transcription
Lagging strand
what is a DNA strand that runs 5' - 3'
These parts of a nucleotide form the backbone of DNA
phosphate and deoxyribose sugars
translocation, deletion, and inversion are all types of this?
chromosomal mutations
THey type of bond that connects adjacent nucleotides
Phosphodiester bond
What are the three types of RNA and what does each do?
mutation
What is a change in DNA structure
This is the overall shape of DNA
double helix
The main two differences between DNA and RNA
ribose vs. deoxyribose and uracil vs. thymine
