DNA
What is a nucleic acid that is made of a chain of nucleotides that stores information?
What is DNA
What is the single-strand nucleic acid called?
What is ribonucleic acid or RNA?
In what organelle does translation take place?
What is cytoplasm?
What are pairs of nucleotides called?
What are base pairs?
What is the copying process that takes place in the nucleus called?
What is transcription?
What are triplets of nucleotide bases in the RNA transcript that provide the code for an amino acid during translation?
What are codons?
The base adenine locks together with which other base?
What is Thymine or the T base?
In what organelle does transcription take place?
What is the nucleus
What type of codons align with other codons on the mRNA strand to properly position amino acids for the new protein chain being built?
What are anitcodons?
What base, guanine, locks together with which other base?
What is the cytosine base or the C base?
(True or False) The first step of transcription is assembling nucleotides.
False; the first step is unzipping DNA
What is the cellular machine that links the amino acids delivered by the tRNA?
What is a ribosome?
How many strands does DNA have?
What is 2?
(True or False) The thymine (T) in RNA is replaced by Uracil (U).
True
(True or False) There are 2 active sites on the ribosome.
False; there are 3 actives sites, 2 hold the tRNAs with their amino acids and the third is the exit site.
