Protein Synthesis
DNA is copied into RNA during which step of protein synthesis?
What is Transcription
The process of copying DNA
What is replication?
This is what RNA stands for
What is Ribonucleic Acid?
The number of strands in DNA
What is two?
DNA stands for this
What is Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid?
Groups of 3 nucleotides on the mRNA strand are called what?
What are codons?
These bonds are broken at the beginning of replication by helicase.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The type of sugar in RNA
What is ribose?
The scientists who determined the 3-D structure of DNA
Who are Watson and Crick?
The three parts of a nucleotide
What are sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base?
Translation of RNA into a protein happens here
What is the Ribosome?
This is the enzyme responsible for joining new nucleotides to the template strand.
What is DNA Polymerase?
The nitrogen base found in RNA that is not in DNA
What is uracil?
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is a double helix?
The base pairing rules
What are Adenine & Thymine and Guanine & Cytosine?
A ribosome makes a protein containing 60 amino acids. The corresponding mRNA consists of at least how many codons?
What is 60?
This is the reason for DNA replication.
What is new cells will have DNA?
The difference in structure of RNA
What is a single strand?
The monomer units of DNA
What is a nucleotide?
The components of the sides of the ladder
What is phosphate and deoxyribose?
The codon AUG codes for which amino acid?
What is methionine (MET)?
The lagging strand needs to be built in small pieces because DNA Polymerase can only work in one direction resulting in this.
What are Okazaki fragments?
The role of mRNA
What is the messenger?
These bases are pyrimidines
What are cytosine and thymine
These bases have two rings in their structure
What are purines?
