DNA
What is a DNA?
What sugar is found in RNA?
ribose
What molecule do we use in translation? DNA? mRNA? tRNA?
mRNA
What are proteins made up of?
a chain of amino acids
The codon AAA brings what Amino acid?
LYSINE
How many strands make up a DNA double helix?
two
Where is RNA found within in the cell?
outside of the nucleus, cytoplasm
What is the order of translation?
DNA -> mRNA -> Amino acids
What dictates the identity of each protein?
the arrangement of amino acids
The codon GCU brings what amino acid?
ALANINE
Where is DNA located?
nucleus
What is thymine replaced with in RNA?
uracil
What happens during translation?
In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in a ribosome, outside the nucleus, to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide. The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell.
Where does TRANSLATION take place?
in the ribosomes
Name all the codons that can bring Serine.
AGC-AGU
On what is DNA located?
chromosome
the process of copying a segment of DNA into a complementary strand of RNA
Why is translation important?
translation leads to amino acids which leads to proteins
What is the first step to make a protein?
transcription
DNA - RNA
The codon AAG brings what amino acid
VALINE
What are the 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA and how do they pair?
Why do we have to do transcription in the first place?
the DNA is too large, the genetic instructions can't leave the nucleus unless we transcribe via RNA.
no, the original DNA contains thymine and therefore will not code for any of the amino acids.
What do proteins do?
make up almost everything in you body
Name all the codons that bring SERINE starting with U
UCU-UCC-UCA-UCG
