300
During translation _____ are translated to _____
mRNA codons are translated to amino acids
300
The type of mutation when one nitrogen base is replaced by another
What is a substitution?
400
The phase of protein synthesis where DNA is copied by mRNA
What is transcription?
400
The function of RNA
What is making proteins?
400
Proteins are made up of _________
What are amino acids?
400
The amino acids from a mutation is --- [Methionine, Lysine, Stop, Cysteine, Lysine, Stop] How would this affect the protein?
The protein would not finish because of the early stop signal.
500
How does DNA determine an organism's traits?
DNA -> RNA -> amino acids -> proteins -> cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems
500
The phase where RNA is translated to amino acids
What is translation?
500
What do proteins do?
Proteins carry out the functions that give you your characteristics. They do most of the work in the cell.
