Structure
What shape does DNA hold?
Double Helix
True or false: DNA replication has the same set of DNA from the original DNA strand to the two new DNA strands.
True
U - uracil
What is a nucleotide made of?
Phosphate, sugar, nitrogen bonds
True or false: DNA replication is NOT used in cell mitosis.
False
Where does transcription happen when DNA makes RNA?
In the nucleus
What are the base pairing rules?
Adenine with Thymine
Cytosine with Guanine
What is the new strand sequence if this is the original?
TAACGGCATACT
ATTGCCGTATGA
Where does translation happen and what happens in translation?
In the ribosome - RNA makes a protein chain with amino acids
What is the other side of the DNA?
GGTACGCA
CCATGCGT
Why would DNA need to replicate?
To have the same set of DNA/instructions for making proteins in each new cell.
Translate this DNA into an RNA and then find the matching amino acids using a codon chart.
TACTTAGGAACT
Methionine - Asparagine - Proline - STOP
What holds the nitrogen bases together in the middle?
Hydrogen bonds
What enzyme unzips the DNA during replication?
Helicase
What are ribosomes made of?
Ribosomal RNA
