One difference between DNA and RNA
DNA is a double strand, RNA is a single strand; U replaces T in RNA; RNA found in many forms like tRNA, rRNA, mRNA
What mRNA bases would pair with this DNA strand (G-G-A-T-C-G-C-C-T-T-A-G-A-A-T-C)?
C-C-U-A-G-C-G-G-A-A-U-C-U-U-A-G
Where does translation occur?
the cytoplasm (on a ribosome)
What is the difference between an amino acid and a protein?
Amino acids are the building blocks of a protein. A protein is a chain of amino acids that are connected to each other.
There are 3 STOP codons, what are they?
UGA, UAA, and UAG
The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
DNA --> RNA --> Protein
Transcription creates what?
mRNA
Transfer RNA
What type of bond is formed between amino acids?
Peptide bonds
What would be the complementary DNA strand to:
A-T-G-G-C-C-T-G-G-A-C-T-T-C-A
T-A-C-C-G-G-A-C-C-T-G-A-A-G-T
The sugar in RNA.
What is Ribose?
A permanent change in the DNA of an organism.
What is a mutation?
What is located at each end of the tRNA molecule?
Anticodon and amino acid
