Nucleotides, Nucleosides
A double stranded nucleic acid that holds genetic information
DNA
Amino acid that pairs with GAU
Asp
Holds all the genetic information necessary to build a cell's proteins
DNA
Where translation take place in the cell
Cytoplasm
The DNA cannot leave which part of the cell?
Nucleus
A single stranded nucleic acid that functions in protein synthesis
RNA
Amino acid that pairs with CCC
Pro
This is responsible for translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence
Ribosome
Complementary 3 letter sequence that pairs with the codon on the mRNA strand
Anticodon
Transcribe this DNA sequence into RNA
AAGCUG
UUCGAC
The sugar found in RNA
Ribose
Amino acid that pairs with UAG
STOP
Enzyme responsible for reading the DNA strand and building the mRNA strand
RNA polymerase
Long chain of amino acids
Polypeptide/Protein
This is what leaves the nucleus after transcription is done
mRNA strand
The sugar found in DNA
Deoxyribose
Amino acid that pairs with the START codon
Met
Main job of this is to carry the code of DNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
mRNA
This dictates which amino acid is brought to the ribosome
Anti-codon sequence
This is an example of what mutation?
CCGUCA
CCCUCA
Substitution
The base found in RNA that is not found in DNA (full name)
Uracil
The molecule that contains an amino acid on one side and an anticodon on the other
tRNA
The role of this molecule is to bring the amino acid to the ribosome
tRNA
This tells the ribosome to stop translation
STOP codon
The two broad types of mutations
Gene
Chromsome
