DNA Structure
Watson and Crick used this term to describe the shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
This is the phase of the Cell Cycle during which DNA replication takes place.
What is the S phase?
A long, single stranded sequence of RNA transcribed from DNA. (Use full name)
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
A 3-base sequence of mRNA.
What is a codon?
The sugars and the phosphates.
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?
This type of RNA transports an amino acid to the ribosome. (Use full name)
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
The process where mRNA is created from DNA
What is transcription?
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
What is a base pair?
This type of RNA is a part of the ribosome through which mRNA can slither. (Use full name)
What is ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm/ribosome?
With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.
What is U (uracil)?
A (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
The enzyme that is used to make a copy of a DNA molecule.
What is DNA polymerase?
Uracil
What is the base that is only present in RNA?
