DNA Replication
The term for the process of DNA copying that results in two identical molecules, each consisting of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand?
What is DNA Replication?
DNA's instructions create this final product.
What is a new protein?
A change in the DNA sequence.
What is a gene mutation?
Change in chromosome number or structure is called this.
What is a Chromosome mutation?
The four main enzymes involved in DNA replication and briefly describe the specific role of the enzyme responsible for unwinding and separating the two parental DNA strands.
What is Helicase, Primase, DNA Polymerase, and Ligase.
DNA sequence forms this temporary message.
What is Messenger RNA
A mutation type that substitutes only one base.
What is a point mutation?
The loss of a chromosome segment.
What is a deletion.
The essential role of DNA replication in the transmission and conservation of genetic information, specifically explaining the significance of the semiconservative process in achieving this conservation.
What is copying genetic code?
Where protein translation occurs.
What is at the ribosome?
Adding or deleting a base causes this shift.
What is a frameshift mutation?
Segment moves to a non-homologous chromosome.
What is a translocation.
The action of the enzyme primase in initiating and extending a new strand during replication.
What is synthesizing a short RNA primer?
Three mRNA bases form this code unit.
What is a codon?
A mutation that results in a premature stop codon.
What is a nonsense mutation?
Segment reverses orientation within a chromosome.
What is an inversion.
The primary function of DNA polymerase proofreading.
What is removing mismatched bases?
Transfers amino acids to the ribosome.
What is Transfer RNA?
Silent mutations do not change this molecule.
What is the amino acid?
Having three copies of a chromosome.
What is a trisomy.
