DNA
In the shape of a double helix.
What is DNA?
Bases that line up with other bases are called this.
What are complementary bases?
The shape of RNA.
What is single stranded?
Transcription takes place here.
Translation takes place in this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The four DNA bases.
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
This substance helps undo the double helix.
What is helicase?
Thymine is substituted for this base.
What is Uracil?
This carries a genetic message from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
mRNA is translated to this.
What are amino acids?
The 'building blocks' of DNA.
What is a nucleotide?
DNA makes a copy of itself during this process.
What is cell division?
RNA converts the information that is stored in DNA to this.
What are proteins?
The information taken from the DNA is copied into a new molecule of this.
What is mRNA?
mRNA binds to this.
What are ribosomes?
The proper name for DNA.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The two types of cells in which DNA replication takes place.
What is prokaryotic and eukaryotic?
RNA stands for this.
What is ribonucleic acid?
This flows from DNA to a protein.
What is genetic information?
On the mRNA molecule, there are groups of three of these nucleotides.
What are codons?
The process where DNA converts to RNA.
What is transcription?
This helps bond the two undone DNA strips together.
What is DNA polymerase?
DNA contains deoxyribose while RNA contains this sugar.
What is ribose?
This enzyme opens up a section of DNA and assembles a strand of mRNA while it 'reads' the sequence of the nucleotide bases on a strand of DNA.
What is RNA polymerase?
The process where ribosomes bring together proteins using the mRNA transcription given.
What is protein synthesis?
