What is the central dogma of molecular biology?
DNA > RNA > PROTEIN
what is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for amino acids?
what is a codon?
what is a sequence of three nucleotides that is complementary to a those of a codon?
what is an anticodon?
why is median like mRNA needed to make protein?
because DNA cant leave the nucleus
what brings the genetic code from the DNA into the cytoplasm
messenger RNA (mRNA)
where is the genetic information stored?
in the hydrogen bonds between bases
Where does transcription take place?
in the nucleus
where does translation take place?
in the cytoplasm
what are regions of DNA that code?
what reads the message of nucleic acids ad translates it to proteins, and also contains the anticodon?
what is transfer RNA?
how many amino acids are there?
20 amino acids
what is transcription?
when the information in a strand of DNA is copied into mRNA
what is translation?
when ribosomes synthesize proteins after the transcription of DNA into RNA
what are regions of DNA that dont code?
introns
what catalyze the assembly of amino acids and attach the tRNA to the mRNA?
what is ribosomal RNA?
what is a gene?
segment of DNA that codes for protein
what enzyme makes an RNA copy of DNA?
RNA polymerase
where does the rRNA bind to?
the start codon
what is the coding strand?
the strand of DNA that has the same sequence of the mRNA strand produced
what does RNA code for?
protein
how does DNA code for protein?
by transcribing genes
when is the mRNA strand complete?
when the introns are removed and the exons are spliced together
what is the start codon?
methionine; AUG
what is the template strand?
the strand of DNA used to make mRNA
what makes up ribosomes?
rRNA
