DNA
The shape of DNA.
double helix
The shape of RNA.
single stranded
This is being replicated
DNA
Where does transcription occur?
nucleus
The end product of translation
peptide chain or protein
The sugar found in DNA
deoxyribose
The sugar found in RNA
ribose
The base pair rule
A - T G - C
The base pair rules for transcription.
A-U T-A G-C
mRNA is "read" by this organelle to build a protein
ribosome
Replicate this sequence: ATC GCC TGC
TAG CGG ACG
Base that is only found in RNA
U - uracil
Enzyme that proofreads new DNA strands
DNA polymerase
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information in this order. Draw the central dogma diagram.
DNA --> RNA --> Protein
The monomer of proteins
amino acids
What are the three components of a nucleotide?
*Draw/label for double points
Phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base (A, T, C, or G)
The START codon
AUG
Enzyme that unzips DNA
DNA helicase
RNA polymerase makes this specific type of RNA that carries instructions for making proteins.
mRNA
Codons are the code that makes up ________ and include the following bases ________________.
*Write an example of three codons for double points!
mRNA / (A, G, C, U)
AUG CGC UGA
List the three differences between DNA and RNA
Strands (2v1), ribose vs deoxyribose, uracil vs thymine
Number of codons needed to specify 6 amino acids
6
When and where does replication take place?
S - phase of interphase in the nucleus
Why does transcription take place?
DNA cannot leave the nucleus and therefore must be transcribed to mRNA to leave the nucleus.
Type of RNA that "brings" amino acids to the ribosome.
What "code" is found on this molecule? (double points)
tRNA / anticodons
