DNA
The type of sugar that makes the sides of DNA
What is Deoxyribose
The type of sugar that makes the side of RNA
What is Ribose
What enzyme is used in DNA seperation
What is Helicase
What is a hydrogen bond
Define ribosomes
What is the organelle that reads RNA and converts it into protein
Name all the hydrogen bases in DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A G T C A A C G T T A
Transcription is
What is the first stage of protein synthesis in which a section of DNA is copied into RNA
Codon is
What are the three nucleotides in a row that code for one animo acid
Complementary base pairs
What are nucleic acids that always connect with each other; A-T and C-G
Sugar phosphate backbone is
What are the sides of the DNA molecule made up of sugar (Deoxyribose or Ribose) and phosphate
Name all the hydrogen bases in RNA
What is Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil
Translation is
What is the process in which RNA is read by the ribosomes and converted into proteins
Anti-code is
Chromosome is
What is tightly coiled DNA in the shape of an X; found in the nucleus of a cell before cell division
Definition of Double helix
The shape of a DNA molecule
(It is in the shape of a spiral stair case)
All types of RNA
Double pts! what do they do?
What are mRNA, tRNA, rRNA (RNAi)
mRNA sends a message to ribosome to make proteins
tRNA gets a message from mRNA and tells the ribosomes what to make for proteins
rRNA stays in the ribosomes and plays a role in protein synthesis
Definition of DNA Replication
What is the process in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself in preparation for cell division?
Gene
Nucleotide is
What is one small unit of DNA made up of one sugar, one phosphate, and one nitrogen base
DNA is
The large molecule that carries genetic information and is the blueprint for protein synthesis
RNA is
What is one half of a DNA molecule used to transport genetic information out of the nucleus to the ribosomes?
Definition of Protein synthesis
What is the process in which DNA is used to make protein?
Genetic code
What is the sequence of nucleotides in DNA that determines all of the traits of an organism
Define Chromatin
What is loosely coiled DNA in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell that looks like spaghetti
