DNA and RNA
This molecule contains thymine instead of uracil.
What is DNA?
This is the overall process of making proteins from DNA instructions.
What is protein synthesis?
The location of transcription.
What is the nucleus
The location of translation.
ribosome
A mutation where one base replaces another.
Point or substitution
This molecule can leave the nucleus.
What is mRNA/RNA?
A series of 3 bases on an mRNA strand.
codon
The molecules in transcription.
DNA and mRNA
The codon is CGA, what is the anticodon?
GCU
This type of mutation removes nucleotides
What is deletion?
This type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
This structure is where proteins are assembled.
What is the Ribosome?
The end result of transcription.
mRNA
The molecules of translation.
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
This type of mutation adds nucleotides.
What is insertion?
This is the name of the subunit that makes up RNA & DNA
What is a nucleotide
The sequence of these determines the structure of a protein.
What are amino acids?
During transcription, this base pairs with adenine instead of thymine.
What is uracil?
What is the amino acid for this mRNA codon UGA?
What is STOP?
This mutation occurs when a piece of one chromosome attaches to a different chromosome.
What is a translocation?
What sugars do DNA and RNA have?
What is DNA deoxyribose, RNA ribose
The anticodon on the tRNA is GUA, what is the codon?
CAU
DNA template: GTA → mRNA codon?
What is CAU
This molecule reads the mRNA codons.
What is tRNA?
This mutation happens when a chromosome segment breaks off, flips, and reattaches.
What is a inversion?
