DNA Structure
Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
Double Helix
This is what results from copying one molecule of DNA
Two molecules of DNA
A long, single stranded sequence of RNA. (DOUBLE POINTS is you use full name)
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
This is where DNA replication takes place.
nucleus
A 3-base sequence of mRNA.
codon or triplet code
The sugars and the phosphates.
Backbone of DNA molecule
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
unwinding, unzipping, separating the DNA
This type of RNA carries an amino acid. (DOUBLE POINTS if you use full name)
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
This is where transcription takes place.
nucleus
Find the complementary mRNA sequence of this DNA strand....... A C T
U G A
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
hydrogen bond
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
Base pair
This type of RNA gathers and brings amino acids to the Ribosome. (DOUBLE POINTS if you use full name)
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
This is where translation takes place.
cytoplasm
With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base. Give the full name.
U (uracil)
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
The enzyme that is used to make a copy of a DNA molecule.
DNA Polymerase
What is the "Protein Factory" called?
Ribosome
RNA is an abbreviation for this term.
ribonucleic acid
He is credited with the discovery that the amount of G's was roughly equal to the amount of C's (and A's with T's) in several samples of DNA.
Erwin Chargaff
What structure is the result of winding DNA up over and over again?
Chromosome
When mRNA is transcribed from DNA and detaches, it then slips through these to get into the cytoplasm.
nuclear pores/holes
DNA is an abbreviation for this term.
deoxyribonucleic acid
