The monomer of a nucleic acid
What is a nucleotide?
What is the name of the process of making mRNA?
What is transcription?
Where does the latter portion of translation take place?
What is the ribosome?
Where does DNA replication take place?
What is the nucleus?
enzyme that is used in replication that breaks the hydrogen bonds, "unzips the DNA"
What is DNA helicase?
What nitrogenous base is found in RNA but NOT DNA?
What is uracil or U?
What enzymes is involved in transcription?
What is RNA polymerase?
DNA is read from which end to which end? (Hint: something prime to something else prime)
5' to 3'
What is meant by semi-conservative replication?
One new strand and one strand is conserved or "saved" (old strand)
In a DNA strand, there is 100 bases total, 21% of the bases are adenine, how many are thymine?
A always pairs with T... so 21 bases are thymine.
How many nucleotides make up a codon?
What is 3?
Where does transcription occur?
What is the nucleus?
Transcribe this DNA:
CCG TAT
What is GGC AUA?
Name one type of mutation.
frameshift, missense, nonsense or silent
enzyme that adds new nucleotides during replication
What is DNA polymerase?
What is the mRNA for this DNA sequence:
AAC GAT TTC
What is UUG CUA AAG?
What type of RNA is pictured here?
What is mRNA?
methionine is also known as...
a start codon
What carries the amino acid to the ribosome during transcription?
What is tRNA or transfer RNA
In a DNA strand, there is 100 bases total, 21% of the bases are adenine, how many are guanine?
29 bases are guanine.
What type of RNA is made in the nucleus before being transferred to a ribosome?
What is mRNA?
What type of RNA is this? What is the job of this type of RNA?
This is tRNA. tRNA brings an anticodon to the mRNA strand
How many nitrogen bases would code for 3 amino acids?
What is nine? (3 for each codon)
What amino acid starts off every polypeptide?
What is methionine?
