Helicase, Shmelicase
Postlethwait really isn't that hard to say after all
I still <3 Science
Snorks ate my homework
Alright stop! Polymerase and listen.

The process of the synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template
Transcription
100
This enzyme is responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds of DNA during replication and transcription
Helicase
100
In RNA, Adenine bonds with _______
Uracil
100
Codons code for these. Also, many of these chained together make up proteins
Amino Acids
100
Why can't DNA leave the nucleus?
Too big to fit through the nuclear pores
200
The process by which the sequence of bases of mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein
Translation
200
This is a change in the genetic material of a cell
Mutation
200
Proteins are made at this organelle
The ribosome
200
These are made up of long chains of amino acids
Proteins

Enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription using a DNA strand as a template
RNA Polymerase
300
The four nitrogenous bases of DNA are:
ATCG
300
The AUG codon has what function?
Start Codon
300
How many sugar-phosphate backbones does RNA have?
One
300
A nucleotide is composed of these three parts:
A sugar, A phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
300
This type of RNA carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins from DNA to the rest of the cell
mRNA
400
Anticodons are located on what kind of RNA?
tRNA
400
This is the five-carbon sugar on the backbone of a RNA
Ribose

These are the four nitrogenous bases in RNA
AUCG
500
Group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to the three bases of a codon of mRNA
Anticodon
500
A sequence of DNA that is NOT involved in coding for a protein
Intron

Gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed
Point Mutation
500
This type of amino acid carries each amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis
tRNA
