DNA Structure
This is the product of DNA replication.
What ars two identical copies of DNA?
A single stranded sequence of RNA that transfers information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. (Use full name)
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
This is where DNA replication takes place in the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the 3-base sequence of mRNA.
What is a codon?
The sugars and the phosphates form this part of DNA.
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?
This enzyme unzips the DNA to begin the process of DNA replication.
What is helicase?
This is the process of making an mRNA copy of DNA.
What is the transcription?
A 3-base sequence found on tRNA.
What is an anticodon?
In order, these are the DNA bases that would match to Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.
What is Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine and Adenine?
This type of RNA makes up much of the ribosome.
What is ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
This is where translation takes place in the cell.
What is the cytoplasm? (What is a ribosome?)
The mRNA codon AUG codes for this amino acid.
What is methionine?
This enzyme matches DNA nucleotides to the two strands of DNA during replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
RNA has one more of these atoms per sugar than DNA does.
What is Oxygen?
This organelle holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
This term describes the directional nature of DNA.
What is antiparallel? (or what is 5 prime to 3 prime?)
These scientists treated S-strain extract with various enzymes to determine that DNA was the transforming factor.
Who are Avery, McCarty and MacLeod?
These are short segments of new DNA that form on the lagging strand and need to be connected together.
What are Okazaki fragments?
Uracil is known as this type of base due to its ring structure.
What is a pyrimidine?
This signals the end of protein formation.
What is a stop codon?
This type of virus will attack bacteria.
What are bacteriophages?
