DNA
The sugar that is part of DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
The sugar that is found in RNA
What is ribose?
Translation of RNA to protein happens here.
What is a ribosome?
Enzymes are a special type of this category of organic molecule.
What are proteins?
This is what causes translation to stop.
What is the stop codon?
The 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA.
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA:
A T T C G C A G T
What is
U A A G C G U C A?
DNA is copied into a strand of mRNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is transcription?
This molecule is used to code for the enzyme DNA polymerase.
What is DNA?
Genes contain instructions for making these.
What are proteins?
Two processes we studied in this chapter that happen in the nucleus, and use DNA as a template.
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
The full names for the three different types of RNA.
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this type of RNA.
What is transfer RNA?
This is the enzyme responsible for separating the two strands of DNA during replication.
This is how many copies you have of each gene immediately after DNA replication.
What are four?
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide.
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
The first is the nitrogenous base that is unique to RNA; the second is the DNA base that it replaces.
What are uracil and thymine?
Groups of three nucleotides on an mRNA molecule.
What is a codon?
Enzymes are made by ribosomes, but ribosomes are made here.
What is the nucleolus?
These are the types of bonds that exist between the two strands of DNA--they bond a nucleotide on one strand to the complimentary nucleotide on the other strand.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The reason why DNA replication happens.
What is to make a copy of the DNA for the daughter cell produced in cell division?
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA (not including the different bases).
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded?
What is RNA has ribose and DNA has deoxyribose?
This is the anticodon for the codon CAG.
What is GUC?
RNA polymerase first has to do this before RNA can be made from a stretch of DNA.
What is separate the two strands of the DNA molecule?
This is determined by the order of nitrogenous bases in DNA.
What is the order of amino acids in proteins?
