DNA
Term used to describe how each DNA strand runs "opposite" of each other.
Antiparallel
Name the base pair unique to RNA.
Uracil
Direction in which a new RNA strand is made.
5' -> 3'
What is carried on tRNA?
Anti-codon
Semiconservative replication?
What is: 1 strand of the parent molecule is resent in the replicated molecule
Name the 3 structures in a nucleotide.
Deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group,
and base (A, T, C, G)
Enzyme responsible for creating mRNA.
RNA polymerase
Strand of DNA used to create mRNA.
Antisense
Given these codons: UAC, UAG, CCG, CGA, UUU
Give the anticodon.
AUG, AUC, GGC, GCU, AAA
This is the main enzyme used in DNA replication
What is DNA polymerase
Complementary base pairing
A-T
G-C
Where is the codon found?
On mRNA
Name the enzyme involved in transcription.
RNA polymerase.
What is produced as a product of translation?
Polypeptides
These are the 2 techniques used in Forensic DNA profiling
What is PCR and Electropheresis
Compare and contrast DNA and RNA
DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid, double strand, ATGC bases.
RNA- ribose, single strand, AUCG bases
Functions of 3 types of RNA.
tRNA- brings in anti-codon to match up with codon.
mRNA- brings message of codon to ribosome.
rRNA - structural, found in ribosome
Name the number of codons
64 Codons
Name a start and stop codon.
Start: AUG;
Stop: UGA, UAA, or UAG
these are the steps of PCR
Denature
Anneal primers
Extension
The type of chemical bonds between nitrogenous bases
What are Hydrogen bonds?
The enzyme used to make DNA from RNA
What is reverse transcriptase?
The name of multiple ribosomes transcribing a single gene
What is a polyribosome
mRNA, tRNA and rRNA definitions
What is message RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA
This is useful in cases of Forensic Identification when nuclear DNA is not obtainable
What is mitochondrial DNA-
