DNA land
DNA plays a role in producing this for the body
What are proteins?
The stage where DNA is transcribed to RNA
What is transcription?
Groups of 3 nitrogenous bases on an mRNA strand are known as these
What is a codon?
The step/stage of protein synthesis where DNA is copied.
What is replication.
The type of mutation that changes one base pair
What is a substitution
These are the four bases of DNA
What is A, T, C, G?
This base if found in RNA but not DNA
What is uracil (u)?
This is the corresponding codon for the DNA strand ATG
What is UAC?
The stage of protein synthesis in which mRNA is used to produce amino acids and proteins
What is translation?
This is the type of mutation where bases are added
What is insertion?
These are the two sets of pairs in DNA
What is A-T, C-G?
(apples in trees/cars in garage)
This type of RNA is used to transmit messages outside the nuclus
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
What is 4?
DNA is converted to RNA in this organelle
What is the nucleus?
This mutation type leads to a stop codon being produced cutting the protein short
What is a Nonsense mutation?
These important regions found throughout our DNA are responsible for determining your phenotype
What are genes?
Anticodons are found on this type of RNA that brings amino acids to the party
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
This is the anitcodon to the start codon
What is UAC?
This protein complex found in all cells converts RNA into Proteins
What is the ribosome?
A mutation where bases are added often causes this type of mutation.
What is a frameshift mutation?
DNA stands for this full name
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
RNA is necessary to transmit information because DNA is unable to cross this
What is the nuclear envelope/membrane?
This is the DNA sequence for codon CAG
What is GTC?
After the protein is finished being created, it does this to assume its final form
What is protein folding?
When a mutation changes one of the Amino acids produced we refer to it as this.
What is missense mutation?
