DNA Structure
The shape of DNA.
What is double helix?
The bases pair with the following DNA strand: ACTTG.
What is TGAAC?
A single-stranded molecule that leaves the nucleus to act as a template during translation.
What is RNA?
Control center of the cell; protects the DNA.
What is the nucleus?
The building blocks of DNA.
What are nucleotides?
DNA strands unzip to create two new molecules of DNA.
What is DNA Replication?
Transcribe the following into tRNA: GATAC.
What is CUAUG?
X-shaped structure found in the Nucleus.
What are chromosomes?
The charge of DNA.
What is negative?
True or false: Two new strands of DNA are different.
What is False, they are identical?
DNA is used to create a molecule of RNA.
What is Transcription?
A chromosome contains long coiled strands of this.
What is DNA?
The 4 different bases in DNA.
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine (A, T, G, C)?
DNA replication requires the use of these types of proteins.
What are enzymes?
RNA is used to assemble a protein.
What is Translation?
A segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein.
What is a gene?
The three things nucleotides are composed of.
What are Phosphate group, Nitrogenous base, Sugar (deoxyribose)?
The steps for protein synthesis.
Step 1: Transcription
Step 2: Translation
3 mRNA bases = 1 codon
1 codon -> one amino acid
Have many important functions in the cell, including making up organelles and speeding up chemical reactions.
What are proteins?
