DNA
the structure of DNA is a ______ ______
double helix
Base that pairs with adenine
Thymine
DNA replication is ____ _________
Semi conservative
Why is DNA considered universal
All living organisms contain the same components of DNA (ATGC)
This type of mutation adds one or more nucleotides that were not previously present.
insertion
What DNA stands for
deoxyribonucleic acid
Base that pairs with cytosine
guanine
Why does DNA replication happen?
tells the cell what to do
Correct Order of the Central Dogma
DNA -> RNA -> Protein
Type of mutation that creates a stop codon prematurely
nonsense mutation
four base nucleotides found in DNA
Ademine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine
Write the complimentary DNA strand
GCT GAT CAG ATA
CGA CTA GTC TAT
Does DNA replication happen before or after cell division
before
This nucleotide is found in RNA instead of thymine
Uracil
Type of mutation that only affects one Amino Acid
missense
Three components of DNA
Phosphate group, sugar, nucleotide
Strands of DNA are held together by this type of bond
Hydrogen bonds
What does it mean that two DNA strands are complimentary
They pair together
Carries information from nucleus to the rest of the cell
Messenger RNA
Type of mutation that has no affect on the Amino Acid sequence
Silent Mutation
What base is ONLY found in DNA and what does it pair with
Thymine, pairs with Adenine
What Amino Acids does the following RNA Sequence code for?
UCG AGA CCG UUU
Ser Arg Pro Phe
The first stage of DNA Replication is when the two DNA strands ____
unzip
Brings information to the ribosomes to help build an amino acid chain
Transfer RNA
Type of mutation that changes the reading sequence of an RNA strand
frameshift mutation
