What is point mutation?
What is thymine/uracil, adenine, guanine, cytosine?
Bonds that hold the sides of the DNA double helix
What are covalent bonds?
3 parts of an RNA nucleotide
What is phosphate group, ribose sugar, nitrogen base?
The location transcription occurs in
Nucleus
A mutation when part of the chromosome is reversed
What is inversion?
Bases in purine group
What is adenine and guanine?
Bonds that hold the steps/rungs of the DNA double helix
The copy of a DNA gene that leaves the nucleus and contains codons necessary for translation
What is mRNA?
The location translation occurs in
Ribosomes (in cytoplasm)
A mutation in which segments of chromosomes switched places
Translocation
Bases in pyrimidine group
What is cytosine, uracil, and thymine?
3 parts of a DNA nucleotide
What is a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, nitrogen base?
Found in the ribosomes, this RNA helps bind the mRNA and tRNA together
What is rRNA?
The process of copying mRNA from a DNA molecule
What is transcription?
Examples of gene mutations
What is point mutation and frameshift mutation?
The 4 differences between DNA and RNA
DNA: thymine, double stranded, stays in nucleus, deoxyribose
RNA: uracil, single stranded, leaves the nucleus, ribose
The sequence of 3 nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule
What is triplet?
What is tRNA?
The process of producing proteins by linking amino acids together based on the codons of mRNA
What is translation?
Examples of chromosomal mutations
What is deletion, inversion, translocation, duplication?
True or false: the amino acid sequence is based on the mRNA AND tRNA anticodon
What is TRUE?
