100
What makes up the RNA structure?
Phosphate, ribose, and nitrogen bases.
100
A carrier, something that carries genes.
A vector
100
Agents that cause mutation.
Mutagens
100
Produces RNA from DNA.
Transcription
100
Process of copying DNA.
Replication
200
The 4 different nitrogen bases in the nucleotide structure (DNA structure).
Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine.
200
Humans breed organisms to get certain traits, also called artificial selection.
Selective Breeding
200
What are the types of mutations?
Point mutations and large insertations & deletions & substitution mutations.
200
Makes proteins.
Translation
200
Mistakes or changes in the DNA strands.
Mutation
300
Types of RNA.
rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA.
300
Done to determine if organisms are homozygous dominent or heterozygous.
Test cross
300
One nucleotide is exchanged for another.
Substitution
300
What "reads" the mRNA to make proteins?
Ribosomes
300
Technique used to make copies of DNA in a test tube.
PCR
400
3 differences between the RNA structure and the DNA structure.
RNA=single stranded, ribose, and uracil. DNA=double stranded, deoxyribose, and thymine.
400
What is used to cut DNA at certain sequences?
Restriction enzymes
400
When you add or subtract a nucleotide.
Frameshift mutations
400
Tells which amino acid to use.
Codon
400
The only way to get new genes is by?
Mutation
500
Enzymes unwind and cut bonds between nitrogen bases allowing strands to seperate.
Division of Strands
500
Putting DNA together that is not usually together (DNA from one organism into another).
Recombinant DNA
500
Proofreading enzymes read DNA and cut out incorrect base pairs.
Repairing mutations
500
Ribosomes match what two things together?
Anticodon and codon
