All About DNA
This nucleic acid is what contains the information to build living organisms.
What is DNA?
This RNA type is what carries the information contained in the DNA.
What is messenger RNA?
There are this many amino acids in nature.
What is 20?
This is the location in the cell where protein synthesis actually occurs.
What is the cytoplasm?
If the codon on the template strand of DNA is AAA the equivalent codon resulting on the mRNA is this.
What is UUU?
This term is what is normally used to describe DNA's shape.
What is a double helix?
What is a codon?
The process of making protein using the mRNA strand is called this.
What is translation?
These two terms can be used for the 5' to 3' strand of DNA.
What are the sense strand and coding strand?
What is AAA?
Guanine pairs with this, while Adenine pairs with this, in DNA.
What are Cytosine and Thymine?
This RNA type is where protein synthesis actually occurs.
What is ribosomal RNA or the ribosome?
This RNA type carries the amino acid to the ribosome to actually build the protein.
What is transfer RNA?
These two terms can be used for the 3' to 5' strand of DNA.
What are antisense strand and template strand?
When the mRNA codon is UAC, the anticodon of the tRNA is this.
What is AUG?
This enzyme is what is responsible for making mRNA from DNA.
What is RNA Polymerase?
What are 2, and what are the small and large subunits?
These are removed from pre-mRNA in mRNA processing.
What are introns?
What is 5' to 3'?
What is glycine?
This is the form that DNA is in when the cell is actively dividing.
What are chromosomes?
The two sites of the ribosome in which protein synthesis occurs are called by these two letters.
What are the P and the A sites?
These are added to the mature mRNA in order to protect it in the cytoplasm.
What is a 5' cap and a poly-A tail?
DNA coding strand: 3'-G-A-T-5'. What is the amino acid?
What is none? It is a stop codon.
DNA sense strand: 3'-A-A-T-5'. What is the tRNA anticodon?
What is AUU?
