DNA Structure
This is the site of DNA replication in a eukaryotic cell.
What is the nucleus
The region of DNA on a chromosome that is transcribed is called this
What is a gene
The organelle of translation in a cell
What is a ribosome
The repetitive ends of linear, eukaryotic chromosomes are these
What are telomeres
The purpose of replication.
What is to produce 2 identical strands of DNA?
What is the molecule produced in Transcription
What is RNA?
The product of translation is...(what translation makes)
What is a protein?
The health and length of these structures may impact aging, stem cell therapies, and the formation of cancerous cells
What are telomeres
What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?
The enzyme that opens/unzips the two strands of DNA.
What is helicase
The sequence of codons in the mRNA (or messenger RNA) can determine this
What is the sequence of amino acids in a protein
The molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome by matching up complementary codons.
What is tRNA?
Telomeres may experience this after DNA replication
What is telomere shortening
This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains 3 parts)
What is nucleotide?
DNA replication is required before this very important cell event.
What is cell division
These two conditions can impact transcription of a gene
What are transcription factors and chromatin structure (euchromatin or heterochromatin)
This process occurs between the codons of mRNA and the anticodons of tRNA
What is complementary base pairing
This enzyme can prevent telomere shortening
What is telomerase
The orientation of the two strands of DNA in a double helix is this.
What is antiparallel
The enzyme that adds nucleotides to DNA.
What is DNA polymerase?
The name of the enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing RNA during transcription
What is RNA polymerase
This binds to a stop codon (such as UAA, UAG, or UGA)
What is a release factor
It causes telomeres to get shorter after DNA replication in the absence of telomerase
What is DNA polymerase only polymerizes in one direction
