DNA
the structure of DNA
double helix
Base that pairs with adenine
Thymine
DNA replication is ____ _________
Semi conservative
RNA is ______ stranded
single
RNA is essential to the process of protein coding because
it can carry information outside the nucleus
What DNA stands for
deoxyribonucleic acid
Base that pairs with cytosine
guanine
The first enzymes in DNA replication work to do this to the double stranded DNA
unzip
RNA's main job is to
carry instructions
The DNA sequence of a gene is copied to make an RNA molecule
Transcription
four base nucleotides found in DNA
Ademine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine
Double stranded DNA is this kind of molecule
Anti parallel
Each of the two strands of DNA work as a _________ to produce two new strands
template
This nucleotide is found in RNA instead of thymine
Uracil
Translation takes place inside
the ribosomes
Three components of DNA
Phosphate group, sugar, nucleotide
Strands of DNA are held together by this type of bond
Hydrogen bonds
This enzyme joins nucleotides and synthesizes the new complimentary strand
DNA polimerase
Carries information from DNA in nucleus to ribosomes
Messenger RNA
Translation is when the sequence of mRNA is decoded to specify a
amino acid or polypeptide
Three scientists most commonly known for discovering modern DNA
Watson, Crick, and Franklin
A-T and G-C associations are known as this
complimentary base pairs
This enzyme proofreads the new stands of DNA for mistakes
DNA polymerase
Carries amino acids to the ribosomes o help build an amino acid chain
Transfer RNA
he three types of mutations are
substitutions, deletions, and insertions
