DNA
This is the type of sugar found in my nucleotide that makes me.
Deoxyribose
This is the type of sugar that is included in my nucleotide unit
Ribose
I am in both nucleic acids and I am a part of the backbone along with the sugar
Phosphate group
Where does transcription occur and describe the process.
The RNA copies the DNA code inside the nucleus. It then leaves the nucleus and travels to a ribosome.
I am the nucleic acids you find in DNA
A,T, C, G which are adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
Nuclear Pore
Which nucleic acid is smaller and will make their own copy of the nucleic acid sequence?
RNA
What is the monomer that makes up proteins?
amino acids
RNA replaces my thymine with...
uracil
Which RNA takes takes a copied version of DNA's nucleic acid info to the ribosome?
mRNA
What are three types of proteins and what are their functions?
Enzymes Structural Signaling Regulatory Sensory
My nucleic acid bases are attached by a ______ bond
Hydrogen bond
What is the purpose of rRNA?
To create peptide bonds between each amino acid in a polypeptide chain.
What is the chain of attached amino acids called? Explain it's significance/ importance.
A polypeptide chain.
How do you pronounce my name from beginning to end rather than stating the Acronym?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Explain what would happen if eukaryotes did not have RNA in their cells.
The genetic information would not be able to get out of the nucleus and the organism would not be able to exist. RNA is needed to make proteins and that is a biomolecule eukaryotes need to exist.
What is the second step of protein synthesis called? Describe it's process including tRNA and how the polypeptide chain is built.
Translation. The tRNA anticodon reads the mRNA codon at the location of the ribosome. When the codons match up,the amino acid pops off the tRNA. the rRNA helps attach each amino acid to each other. Finally a stop codon finished the polypeptide strand.
