DNA
The sugar that is part of DNA
What is deoxyribose?
Uracil
Which base is found in RNA but not DNA?
tRNA travels here on its way to make proteins
What is the cytoplasm?
the basic building block of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA)
What is a nucleotide base?
These are the building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
The sugar that is found in RNA
What is Ribose?
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis
What is Transcription (copy the recipe)?
C-G
What is cytosine and guanine?
copy of instructions
mRNA
What happens in the nucleus involving DNA
What is transcription (copy the recipe!)?
Copies and carries genetic code
What is mRNA!
Ribosome
Where does translation (“build the recipe”) occur?
A-T
What is Adenine and Thymine?
where mRNA travels to be translated into proteins
What is cytoplasm?
Double-stranded
What is DNA's helix?
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
a chain of molecules that build proteins
What is an amino acid?
U
What is Uracil, the base is found in RNA but not DNA?
Builds muscle, strong enzymes (chemical reactions), balanced hormones, repairs tissue
Why are amino acids important?
A–T, C–G
What are the base pairing rules in DNA?
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
to make proteins
What is the big idea of RNA?
Th building block of DNA or RNA (called a nucleotide) has these 3 parts
1. A sugar
2. to a phosphate group
3. a nucleotide base
A disease that results in a change in the shape of the cell (ex: hemoglobin in red blood cells) due to a point mutation (half moon shape)
What is sickle cell anemia?
