DNA
A double helix strand in the shape of a spiral staircase.
What is DNA?
To make daughter cells.
Why does DNA have to replicate?
Uracil, Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine.
What are the four nitrogen bases contained in RNA?
A segment of DNA serves as a template to produce a complementary strand of RNA.
What happens in Transcription?
Three nitrogen bases from mRNA that are grouped together.
What is a codon?
Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine.
What are the four nitrogen bases contained in DNA?
SSB Proteins (Single-Stranded Binding Proteins)
What binds to the DNA strands to keep them separated?
mRNA (messenger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), and tRNA (transfer RNA).
What are the three types of RNA?
In the nucleus.
Where does Transcription take place?
The strand of mRNA is used to build a chain of amino acids, which later turn into proteins.
What happes in Translation?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
What does DNA stand for?
Speed up reactions and build up or break down items that they act on.
What do enzymes have the ability to do?
Making proteins.
What is the general function of rRNA?
mRNA.
What type(s) or RNA are involved?
In the ribosome.
Where does Translation take place?
The nucleus.
In which organelle is most DNA found?
The origin.
What is the name of the part of DNA where DNA replication starts?
Carry a message based off DNA.
What is the general function of mRNA?
RNA Polymerase
What is the enzyme that connects RNA bases to DNA to make mRNA?
rRNA and tRNA.
What type(s) or RNA are involved?
They carry out tasks necessary for building and maintaining the cell.
What is the role of proteins?
Anti-Parallel.
In which direction does the DNA Polymerase build a new strand?
Transfers amino acids [to area of protein synthesis].
What is the general function of tRNA?
The DNA is located in the nucleus.
Why is Transcription located in the nucleus?
To make proteins.
What is the main job of amino acids?
