DNA
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
What happens to the DNA strand in DNA replication? what enzyme?
You unzip the DNA using Helicase
How many strand(s) does RNA have?
Has one strand.
Where does transcription take place?
It happens in the nucleus.
What happens during the process of translation?
Creates proteins from the mRNA template.
What shape does DNA make?
It has the shape of a double helix
What direction does DNA build a new DNA strand?
5' to 3'
What four bases does RNA contain?
Has adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.
What type(s) of RNA is involved in transcription?
mRNA is only involved.
What is the end result of translation?
A poly-peptide chain is made.
What four bases are in DNA?
Has all of these bases, Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, & Thymine.
What is DNA replication?
Copying a double-stranded DNA molecule.
What does RNA stand for?
Ribonucleic acid.
What is the end result of transcription?
A complimentary copy of RNA is made.
What type(s) of RNA are involved in translation?
mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA.
What does DNA code for?
Genetic Information.
DNA replication takes place in what cell(s)?
Occurs in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
What is the backbone of RNA made out of?
Has the backbone of ribose sugars
What happens during transcription?
RNA polymerase connects to RNA bases to DNA. RNA moves to from the nucleus, then to the cytoplasm and finally in the ribosome.
Where does translation occur?
Takes place in the ribosome.
DNA has what type of backbone?
Sugar-phosphate backbone
What is the fragment that is glued together during DNA replication?
Okazaki fragments are added to strands.
What are the different types of RNA?
mRNA & tRNA
How many strands of DNA is copied during transcription?
One strand of DNA is copied.
Does translation come before or after transcription?
Occurs last.
