DNA Structure
The organelle where transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
The organelle where translation takes place.
What is cytoplasm/ribosome.
When a mutation happens at a single nucleotide
Point Mutation
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?
When a nucleotide/series of nucleotides is missing from a sequence
Deletion
What are the 3 parts of a Nucleotide
What is phosphate and sugar and nitrogenous base
The enzyme that opens the strand of DNA.
What is helicase?
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?
When an extra nucleotide is added to a DNA sequence
Insertion
This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains three molecules).
What is nucleotide?
The term for organisms whose cells do not have a nucleus
Prokaryotic
If the DNA sequence is GCAATC, this is the mRNA sequence.
What is CGUUAG?
The name for the sets of 3 nucleotides on mRNA.
What is codon?
When the change in DNA structure does not cause a change in the protein being made
Silent Mutation
What special bonds nucleotides together?
Hydrogen Bonds
The enzyme that helps zip the DNA back up
DNA Ligase
What Enzyme is used to read the DNA template to make RNA
RNA Polymerase
Why are proteins sent to the Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Body
To be folded into its final configuration (shape)
When a change in the DNA structure moves the entire code order up or down
Frame Shift
