What macromolecule is DNA considered?
Nucleic Acid
100
Is RNA single stranded or double stranded?
single stranded
100
what is the enzyme that is involved in DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase.
100
What is Transcription?
It is the process in which the RNA molecule is produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA.
100
What is the significant about translation?
it involves protein synthesis.
200
What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
5 carbon sugar, nitrogenous base, and phosphate group
200
what are the three types of RNA?
Messenger RNA, Transfer RNA, and Ribosomal RNA
200
What is the name of the site in which separation and replication take place?
Replication forks
200
What is the name of the sequence of nucleotides that are not apart in the coding for proteins?
Introns
200
What is the start codon that begins translation?
Methionine
300
what enzyme cuts the DNA into small fragments and what helps separate the different sized DNA fragments for the powerful known as DNA fingerprinting.
Restriction enzymes cut the DNA into smaller pieces and gel electrophoresis helps move the fragments.
300
What does RNA have that DNA doesn't?
Single strand, and Uracil
300
what is the chromatin made up of?
DNA that tightly coils around histones.
300
What is the principle enzyme involved in transcription?
RNA polymerase
300
What is the name of the codon on the Transfer RNA
anti-codon
400
What method evolves cutting DNA into random fragments and then determining the sequence of bases in each fragment?
shotgun sequencing
400
what is the term for a 3 nucleotide sequence on tRNA that brings the amino acid?
anticodons
400
what is the rule that bases must follow when binding together?
chargaff's rule
400
what enzyme promotes RNA polymerase to bind to the sequence.
promoters
400
what structure found in eukaryotes help position the RNA polymerase by marking the point where translation begins?
the TATA box
500
What is the term rapid sequencing mean?
this is known to determine the order of bases in a strand of DNA.
500
What is the term for a group of ribosomes on one mRNA Chain
polysome
500
why does a DNA strand have to have opposite orientation?
It makes it easier to read the DNA molecule.
500
what is the process by which genetic instruction are used to synthesize proteins?
Gene expression
500
What two amino acids does the ribosomes produce a peptide bond?
Methionine and phenylalaine.
