DNA
The full name of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
The three base code or sequence of three nucleotides
Codon
The full name of RNA
Ribonucleic Acid
The sequence of three nucleotides that is complementary to a codon
What is an anticodon
What are proteins
A string of Amino Acids that make up body tissues
The three components of DNA structure
Phosphate group, Deoxyribose sugar, and Nitrogen base
Where does transcription take place?
nucleus
What are the 3 differences between RNA and DNA
RNA contains ribose instead of deoxyribose, Uracil is used in RNA instead of thymine, RNA is a single strand
Where does Translation take place?
The cytoplasm (on the ribosomes)
The three components involved in the Central Dogma of Biology
What are DNA, RNA, and Proteins
The nitrogen base that pairs with Cytosine
Guanine
What is transcription
The synthesis of mRNA from DNA or When information from a DNA strand is copied into RNA
Nitrogenous base in RNA that binds with Adenine
Uracil
What is Translation
When codons form mRNA are coded to form Amino Acids
The two processes involved in the Central Dogma of Biology
What are Transcription and Translation
The nitrogen base that pairs with Adenine in DNA
Thymine
The form of RNA involved in Transcription
mRNA, RNA polymerase
The RNA form that moves DNA information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
messenger RNA (mRNA)
The form(s) of RNA involved in Translation
tRNA, rRNA, mRNA
What is Gene Regulation
The ability of an organism to control which genes are transcribed in response to the environment.
What is the main enzymes that carry out DNA replication
DNA Polymerase
The enzyme that regulates RNA synthesis and builds a strand of RNA from DNA
RNA Polymerase
What are the three types of RNA
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
The anticodon that binds to CGA (remember the pattern but now its for RNA)
What is GCU
When a mistake is made in cell replication that can not be repaired this is called a...
Mutation
