Proteins, DNA and RNA
A DNA molecule will contain the same amount of adenine as this other base
What is thymine?
The mRNA sequence generated from a DNA sequence of AAT CCG GTG
What is UUA GGC CAC?
Each tRNA molecules is bonded to a single one of these
What are amino acids?
This type of DNA mutation is the least severe, because it does not disrupt the reading frame of the gene
What is substitution?
This process generates a polypeptide
What is translation?
Since it speeds up the digestion of starch, amylase is this kind of protein
What is an enzyme?
mRNA uses this sugar for its nucleotides
What is ribose?
The t in tRNA stands for this
What is transfer?
This enzyme is responsible for "unzipping" DNA so it can be replicated
What is DNA helicase?
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is a double helix?
The part of the nucleotide monomer in DNA that is responsible for the "code" that determines how a protein is constructed
What is the nitrogenous base?
What are strands?
Translation occurs in this part of the cell
What is the ribosome?
The complementary strand would read this if the sequence of a strand of DNA reads AAT CCG GTG
What is TTA GGC CAC?
The shape and the amino acid sequence (or primary structure) of a protein determine this
What is its function?
This nitrogenous base is not found in DNA
What is uracil?
DNA synthesis and transcription occur in this part of the cell
What is the nucleus?
This signals the end of the translation process
What is a stop codon?
This type of DNA mutation is the result of a new nitrogenous base being added to the DNA strand
What is insertion?
This process generates a molecule of mRNA
What is transcription?
The surface proteins found on individuals with A, B, and AB blood types are classified as this type of protein
What are recognition proteins?
The organization of proteins from smallest to largest molecule
What is amino acid, polypeptide, protein?
Anticodons are found on this molecule
What is tRNA?
This type of light is a known mutagen
What is ultraviolet light?
A mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence of the protein being coded for is called this
What is a silent mutation?
