DNA Structure
The site where transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
The site of translation in the cell.
What is cytoplasm (more specifically ribosome)?
The purpose of replication.
What is to produce 2 identical strands of DNA?
The molecule produced in transcription.
What is mRNA?
The product of translation (what translation makes)
What is a protein (polypeptide)?
What are the nitrogen bases used in mRNA?
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil - NOT Thymine.
What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?
The first stage of cell division
What is interphase?
The meaning of the "m" in mRNA.
What is messenger?
The molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome by matching up complementary codons.
What is tRNA?
Can 2 brown-eyed parents have a blue-eyed child?
Yes BbxBb can produce bb offspring
This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains three molecules).
What is nucleotide?
What is TGCAGG?
If the DNA sequence is GCAATC, this is the mRNA sequence.
What is CGUUAG?
Organelles in the cytoplasm made of protein and ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
What are ribosomes?
The number of chromosomes in human cells produced via mitosis
What is 46?
The 3 parts of a nucleotide.
What is phosphate, sugar, base.
The number of (grand)daughter cells produced during meiosis.
What is 4?
The abbreviations RNA and DNA stand for this
How do you abbreviate Ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid?
What is DNA stored inside the nucleus and mRNA is used to carry the code to the ribosome?
The DNA could get damaged outside of the nucleus and it's too large to move out of the nuclear pore. mRNA is single stranded and only codes for a section of the DNA instead of the entire strand.
What are the bases called that are carried by the tRNA to the mRNA? Example: UUG AUC GGC
Codons
