Nucleotide Structure
The nitrogenous base found in DNA but not RNA
What is thymine?
Where DNA replication starts
What is origin/replication bubble?
Opens the double helix
What is helicase?
Brings anticodons from mRNA to the ribosome
What is tRNA?
Theory stating that genetic information flows only in one direction, from DNA, to RNA, to protein, or RNA directly to protein
What is Central Dogma?
The pentose sugar that helps form the phosphate backbone of DNA

Ribonucleic acid enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction
What is ribozyme?
The bond that holds nitrogenous bases together
What is hydrogen bonding?
What are Okazaki fragments?
Synthesizes the RNA primer

What is 5' to 3'?
Links together Okazaki fragments
What is DNA ligase?
The peptidyl site where a peptide bond forms in the ribosome
What is P site?
Protein that provides structural support for a chromosome
What is histone?
The carbon attached to the hydroxyl group in deoxyribose
With respect to the template strand, the direction that DNA polymerase moves
What is 3' to 5'?
