Nucleic Acid Structure
The three components of a nucleotide
What are sugar, phosphate, and base?
Carries amino acids
What is tRNA?
Where eukaryotic transcription occurs
What is in the nucleus?
The enzyme that catalyzes translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
What are ribosomes?
Differences in a single base-pair that exist in a population
What are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)?
This is the complementary DNA sequence to the following: AAGTCC
What is TTCAGG?
The copy of a gene that codes for a protein
What is mRNA?
The goal of transcription
What is making mRNA?
Translation starts when this is reached on the mRNA
What is the start codon (AUG)?
Three types of mutations
What are insertions, deletions, and substitutions?
The differences between DNA and RNA nucleotides
What are their sugars (deoxirobose vs ribose) and bases (T vs U)
Contains codons
What is mRNA?
The enzyme that separates the strands of DNA and adds RNA nucleotides during transcription
What is RNA polymerase
Translation ends when this is reached on the mRNA
What is a stop codon?
The amino acid sequence based on the following DNA sequence: TGCGTA
What is the sequence Thr- His?
The two strands of DNA are held together by this
What are hydrogen bonds?
Contains anticodons
What is tRNA?
This RNA sequence would be transcribed from the following DNA sequence: GCTAAC
What is CGAUUG?
This is produced by the end of translation
What is a polypeptide chain (amino acids connected by peptide bonds)?
This is how cells in your body can have the exact same DNA but perform entirely different functions
What is by regulating gene expression? (for example: epigenetics)
The sides of the DNA ladder
What are the sugar phosphate backbones?
Part of the ribosome
What is rRNA?
Each tRNA molecule brings this to the ribosome
What is an amino acid?
