Central Dogma I
The process of converting DNA into a single strand of mRNA.
What is transcription?
The process of converting mRNA into an amino acid sequence, or a protein.
What is translation?
This type of transport requires NO energy and moves WITH the concentration gradient.
What is passive transport?
This type of transport requires energy and moves molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
Transcribe the following sequence:
TAC GCA TCG ACT
AUG CGU AGC UGA
Given the mRNA sequence CAU, what amino acid is created?
The simple diffusion of water across cell membranes.
What is osmosis?
What is isotonic?
This nitrogenous base pairs with Adenine in transcription.
What is Uracil?
Given the DNA sequence TAG, what amino acid is created?
What is Isoleucine (Ile)?
This type of passive transport uses protein channels to move molecules across the membrane.
What is facilitated diffusion?
A solution where water leaves the cell. This causes the cell to shrink / shrivel.
What is hypertonic?
The enzyme that is used in transcription.
What is RNA polymerase?
The special types of RNA used in translation. They carry anticodons that are complementary to codons on the mRNA.
What is tRNA?
A solution where water enters the cell. If too much water enters, the cell can lyse / burst.
What is hypotonic?
This type of active transport involves cells taking things INTO the cell.
What is endocytosis?
Given the following mRNA strand, what was the template DNA strand?
CCU AGC GUA UAG
GGA TCG CAT ATC
Given the amino acid Lysine (Lys), what are the possible DNA sequences originally used?
What are TTT or TTC?
A solution where there is more solute than solvent, causing water to leave the cell.
What is a hypertonic solution?
A solution where there is less solute than solvent, causing water to enter the cell.
What is a hypotonic solution?
