The sugar that is found in RNA
What is Ribose?
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
What is a Ribosome?
A mutation that changes a single nitrogen base
What is a point mutation?
This enzyme unzips DNA
What ais helicase?
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C
What is U A A G C G
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?
This enzyme adds in nucleotides to the new strands
What is DNA Polymerase?
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 causes the amino acid that was produced to be much shorter than it should be
What is a premature STOP codon?
The 2 strands are called this because their deoxyribose sugars point opposite ways.
What is anti parallel?
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?
These are only found on the lagging strand
What are Okazaki fragments?
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 original strand of DNA is ACT TTG CGA The mutated strand of DNA is ACT TTC GA This is a _______________ mutation that causes a _________ of amino acids.
What is a deletion? What is a frameshift?
DNA replication is considered this because the final product consists of half new and half old DNA.
What is semi-conservative?
