DNA Structure
The nitrogen base pair that forms a triple hydrogen bond with guanine.
Cytosine
This is the place where DNA is stored in the cell.
Nucleus
This is the process that copies or duplicates DNA, involving the enzyme DNA polymerase.
Replication
This type of RNA is an intermediate message that is translated to form a protein.
messenger RNA (mRNA.)
In this type of mutation, an incorrect nucleotide is in the place of the correct nucleotide.
point mutation
The model of DNA can be described as this, like a twisted ladder.
double helix
This is the function of DNA.
Stores genetic information.
These are enzymes that bond new nucleotides together, and correct mistakes made during the replication process.
DNA Polymerases
This type of RNA forms part of a ribosome: the cell's protein factory.
ribosmal RNA (rRNA).
The insertion or deletion of a nucleotide into a DNA sequence, shifting the entire sequence following the mutation by one or more nucleotides.
frameshift mutation
The units that make up DNA: composed of phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and nitrogen bases.
Nucleotide
The four nitrogen base pairs found in DNA.
A,T,C,G
This states that information flows in one direction, from DNA to RNA to proteins.
central dogma
The name of the sugar found in RNA.
ribose
These types of mutations occur during cell division
chromosomal mutations
The nitrogen base pair that forms a double hydrogen bond with adenine.
Thymine
These are double ring nitrogen bases. Adenine and guanine are examples of these.
Purines
This process converts a DNA message into an intermediate molecule RNA.
Transcription
This form of RNA brings amino acids from the cytoplasm to a ribosome to help make a growing protein.
tRNA (transfer RNA).
Mutations that affect a single gene happen during this process.
Replication
Covalent bonds connect which two molecules that make up the backbone of DNA?
deoxyribose sugar and phosphate
This is small a segment of DNA, that codes for a protein.
gene
This process interprets an RNA message into a string of amino acids, called a polypeptide.
Translation
These are the two structures that can be found in a ribosome: the cell's protein factory.
protein + rRNA
Mutations that affect an entire chromosome happen during this process.
meiosis/cell division
