identify the Nucleic acid
known as the messenger rna
MRNA
This is where DNA replication takes place.
the nucleus
is the DNA a single or double helix.
double helix
This is what results from copying one molecule of DNA
two molecules of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic, molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms
DNA
This is where transcription takes place.
the nucleus
The sugars and the phosphates.
backbone of a DNA molecule
This is the first step in the replication of one DNA molecule.
unwinding of DNA
a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.
RNA
This is where translation takes place.
the cytoplasm
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
a hydrogen bond
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
a base pair
an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.
TRNA
This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
the ribosome
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
3 parts of a nucleotide
The enzyme that is used to make a copy of a DNA molecule.
DNA polymerase
a ribozyme which carries out protein synthesis in ribosomes. Ribosomal RNA is transcribed from ribosomal DNA and then bound to ribosomal proteins to form small and large ribosome subunits.
RRNA
When mRNA is transcribed from DNA, it then slips through these to get into the cytoplasm.
