Hodgepodge
100
Contains info for an organism's growth and function.
What is DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid?
100
Made in the nucleus; carries the codes for making proteins.
What is Ribonucleic or RNA?
100
The first step in Translation.
DNA unzips into 2 separate strands.
100
The first step of Translation.
Conversion of RNA into amino acids; sequence that makes a protein.
100
Carries nucleotide sequence from nucleus to ribosome.
What is mRNA?
200
The year that Rosalind Franklin discovered that DNA is 2 chains of molecules in a spiral form.
What is 1952?
200
Replaces Thymine in RNA.
What is Uracil?
200
The second step in Translation.
Free floating RNA Nitrogen bases in the nucleus pair up with unzipped DNA Nitrogen bases.
200
The second step of Translation.
The mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm.
200
Picks up amino acid in cytoplasm and carries it to ribosome.
What is tRNA?
300
Made of thousands of amino acids.
What are proteins?
300
The 3 types of RNA.
What are Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and Transfer RNA (tRNA).
300
The third step in Transcription.
After the pairing is done, a single strand of RNA remains.
300
The third step in Translation.
Ribosomes attach to mRNA.
300
Found in ribosome; joins mRNA and tRNA; forms protein.
What is rRNA?
400
Sections of DNA on a chromosome.
What are genes?
400
Compare and Contrast DNA and RNA.
Compare: DNA: RNA: Both acids deoxyribose ribose Both have shapes double-helix single strand
400
The fourth step in Transcription.
Genetic code from DNA is transferred to mRNA.
400
The last step of Translation.
tRNA (carrying anti-codon) picks up the correct amino acids and carries them to the mRNA strand forming the protein.
400
The base pairs of DNA.
What are A=T and C=G?
500
The shape of DNA.
What is double-helix?
500
The nucleic acid pairs in RNA.
What are A=U and G=C?
500
The last step in Transcription.
The code obtained from DNA lets the mRNA know which amino acids to pick up.
500
What is Translation?
Getting the amino acids in place.
500
Set of 3 nitrogen bases.
What are codons?
