Protein Synthesis A
Proteins are made of this monomer.
What is an amino acid?
True or False: The DNA in each cell is different
False
Transcription occurs in this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
This is what the Human Genome Project mapped.
What is the location of every gene in human DNA.
This is the name for a small section of DNA that codes for a single protein.
What is a gene?
Translation occurs in this organelle.
What is a ribosome?
True of False: All mutations are harmful
False
Unlike DNA, RNA has this nitrogenous base.
What is uracil?
This is the name for the process of inserting genes from one human cell into another to treat disease.
What is gene therapy?
Proteins that need to be taken out of a cell are transported by this.
What is a vesicle?
These are the two stages of protein synthesis, in order.
What are transcription and translation?
This type of mutation involves the removal of one or more nitrogenous bases from a sequence of DNA.
What is deletion?
This organelle folds and transports proteins.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
This is how many chromosomes humans have.
What is 46?
This is how many different amino acids there are.
What is 20?
This enzyme is involved in synthesizing mRNA.
What is RNA Polymerase?
This type of mutation occurs when one nitrogenous base is replaced with a different one.
What is substitution?
This is the name for the section of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid.
What is a codon?
This is the name for the process of intentionally changing the DNA of an organism.
What is genetic engineering?
This is the name for the fusion of the DNA of two organisms.
What is recombinant DNA?
These are the three major difference between RNA and DNA (BE SPECIFIC!).
What is:
1. RNA is single stranded; DNA is double stranded
2. RNA has ribose; DNA has deoxyribose
3. RNA has uracil; DNA has thymine
This type of mutation results in Huntington's Disease.
What is insertion?
This molecule brings matching amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
What is tRNA?
This is the definition of a plasmid.
What is a ring of bacterial DNA?
In gene therapy, DNA is inserted into cells with the help of this.
What is a virus?
