Nucleic Acids
the function of nucleic acids
what is genetic information
creation of DNA
A change a nitrogenous base
What is point mutation or substitution
a unique visualization of a person's DNA that can be used for crime scene investigation and paternity testing
What is helix
the four types of nitrogen bases in DNA
what are cytosine, guanine, thymine and adenine
creation of RNA
A mutation that causes the reading frame to move over due to an addition or subtraction of nitrogen bases
What is a frameshift mutation
What is a genetically modified organism via genetic engineering!
connects the nitrogen bases in DNA, creating the double strand and the "steps" of the ladder
what is hydrogen bond
the monomer of nucleic acids
what is a nucleotide
creation of proteins
REVERSE REVERSE
What is inversion
an identical copy of an organism
What is a clone
the enzyme that unzips DNA during replication
the three parts of a nucleotide
What are a sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous base
3 nitrogen bases on mRNA vs 3 nitrogen bases on tRNA
What are codons vs anticodons
Tend to be more dangerous than gene mutations
What are chromosomal mutations
What is restriction enzymes and electricity!
the area where DNA unravels during replication vs the are where a specific gene unravels in DNA during transcription
What is replication bubble vs transcription complex
the FOUR differences between DNA and RNA
What are thymine vs uracil, double vs single stranded, deoxyribose vs ribose sugar, and trapped in nucleus vs can leave the nucleus
describes how replicated DNA is half original half brand new
What is semiconservative
two examples of chromosomal mutations
what are gene duplication, translocation or nondisjunction
DNA that is combined from more than one type of organism vs an organism with DNA from multiple species
What is recombinant DNA vs transgenic organism
The two enzymes that bind new nucleotides/proofreads and helps to connect the two strands of a new piece of DNA
What are DNA Polymerase and Ligase
