mRNA codon chart
What Amino Acid does AUG equal?
Methionine (Met) or the start
What is the end result of replication?
2 strands of DNA
What does the helicase do?
Unzips the DNA
Does DNA have 1 strand or 2 strands?
2 strands
What are protein chains made of?
Amino acids
1 of the 3 stopping amino acids
UAA, UAG, or UGA
DNA 5C sugar is called?
Dioxyribose
What does the RNA polymerase do?
Copies and makes complimentary pairs
Covalent meaning
sharing bonds
What does Semi conservative mean?
Semi means partly
Conservative means keep
What does the codon UGA equal in amino acids?
Arginine (Arg)
RNA 5C sugar is called?
Ribose
What stand of DNA is the lead and which is the lag strand
Lead - top strand
Lag - bottom strand
What make up the sides of a DNA ladder?
Phosphates and sugars
What does the t in tRNA and the m in mRNA stand for?
t = transfer
m = messenger
What two amino acids are Aspartic Acid (Asp)
GAU and GAC
how many carbon sugars do both RNA and DNA have?
5
What are the converting letter pairs
T - A, A - U, C - G, G - C
What 3 things does a nucleotide contain?
phosphates, deoxyribose sugars, and nitrogenous base
What is an anticodon?
Anticodon matches with RNA. Gets to the right place.
What are all the codons that have the amino acid Leucine (Leu)
UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG
Name 5 parts in DNA replication
lead strand, lag strand, helicase, protein binder, primer, primase, DNA polymerase, Nucleotides, or bonds
Three steps of transcription
1. gene gets unzipped by helicase
2. RNA polymerase creates mRNA
3. mRNA travels out of Nucleic membrane to ribosomes to create proteins
How many bonds do each pair have?
C and G = 3 bonds
T and A = 2 bonds
