DNA
What is the shape of DNA
Double helix
What base pairs with A?
U
Where does transcription happen
nucleus
what is the product of translation
protein
This is a type of mutations that could cause problems such as sickle cell
point mutation
What three parts make up a nucleotide?
Sugar, phosphate, base
Process of forming mRNA
Transcription
What is made during transcription
mRNA
Where does translation occur.
ribosome
This is a type of mutation- Original- ATCATGC Mutation- ATATGC
What is a deletion?
What is the "Base-Pair Rule"?
A pairs with T, G pairs with C
Responsible for production of proteins and follows exact direction from a double-stranded template. It travels from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
mRNA
what is a three nucleotide sequence on mRNA
Codon
Which RNA is responsible for bringing in Amino Acids.
tRNA
This is a type of mutation- Original- ATCATGC Mutation- ATCGATGC
What is an insertion?
What kind of bond holds the bases together?
Hydrogen
Vital for translation. Transports and positions amino acids. Produces anticodons
tRNA
is the mRNA single or double stranded?
single
three nucleotide sequence which brings a specific amino acid using the tRNA
anticodon
This is a type of mutation- Original- ATCATGC Mutation- ATTATGC
What is a substitution?
Who are the founders of the structure of DNA?
Watson and Crick
What is the main function of rRNA?
It's what makes up the ribosome
What is the main purpose of transcription?
To produce an mRNA strand from a template DNA in order to code for our resulting amino acids
How many amino acids are there?
20
Which is worse, a chromosomal or gene mutation?
chromosomal mutation
