DNA Replication
What nitrogenous base pairs with Guanine?
Cytosine
The Central Dogma States
DNA encodes for RNA and RNA encodes for Proteins
What occurs in translation
mRNA decoded into protein
Recreation of whole organisms is known as
Reproductive cloning
When does DNA replication occur?
S phase of Mitosis or Meiosis
During transcription, Adenine pairs with
Uracil
These components of the protein synthesis machinery add amino acids based on the mRNA codons
tRNAs
This process uses electrical charge to separate molecules based on size
Gel Electrophoresis
What enzyme unwinds DNA during Initiation?
Helicase
mRNA is built in which direction
5' to 3' direction
This codon initiates translation
Start Codon, AUG
What do Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCR) do to DNA
make more copies
What enzyme adds complementary base pairs to the new strand of DNA?
DNA polymerase
In this step of transcription RNA polymerase leaves the DNA template
Termination
What causes the termination of translation
Encountering a stop codon
What is one benefit to GM food?
better yields, better nutrition, resistant to pests and herbicides
What is the complementary lagging strand of DNA made from?
Okazaki Fragments
After transcription, what are removed from the new mRNA strand?
Introns
In prokaryotes, when is gene expression controlled
transcription
A genetically modified organism who's modified DNA comes from a different species
