DNA
The sugar that is part of DNA
What is deoxyribose?
The sugar that is found in RNA
What is Ribose?
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
What is a Ribosome?
A mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids and does not cause disease.
What is a silent mutation?
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C A G T
What is U A A G C G U C A
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
The type of mutation that occurs when one base is replaced by another.
What is a substitution?
The bonds that link the nitrogenous bases together.
What are hydrogen bonds?
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
What is transfer RNA?
A mutation that results in a stop codon ending the chain of amino acids.
What is a nonsense mutation?
This special types of protein help to unzip DNA
What is Helicase?
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
The type of mutation that happens when a base is either deleted or inserted, causing a change in the reading of codons and amino acids.
What is a frameshift?
A disease that results in a change in the shape of hemoglobin in red blood cells due to a point mutation.
What is sickle cell anemia?
The reason why DNA replication happens.
What is to pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division?
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
This is the anticodon for CAG
What is GUC?
The scientists credited for solving the structure of DNA
Who is Watson and Crick?
