DNA
The sugar that is part of DNA
Deoxyribose
The sugar that is found in RNA
Ribose
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
Ribosome
These are the building blocks of proteins.
Amino acids
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on
DNA: A T T C G C A G T
U A A G C G U C A
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
Transcription
The bonds that link amino acids together.
peptide bonds
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
DNA Replication and Transcription
The full names for the three different types of RNA
messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
transfer RNA
These special types of proteins help to unzip DNA and match up complementary nucleotide bases during DNA replication and protein synthesis.
enzymes
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
Deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
codon
What is the function of RNA polymerase during transcription?
Synthesize the mRNA molecule from the DNA template.
The reason why DNA replication happens.
To pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division.
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded.
RNA has Ribose and DNA has Deoxyribose
RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine
This is the anticodon for CAG
GUC
The name for long chains of amino acids that form during protein synthesis.
Polypeptides
