DNA
This nucleic acid is unique to DNA and uses 2 hydrogen bonds to pair with its base pair.
What is thymine
This bond is the strongest
What is a covalent bond
The monomer of proteins
What are amino acids
The functional group contains a nitrogen
What is an amine
Can cause cancer
What is telomerase
This type of bond holds the DNA backbone
What is a phosphodiester bond
These are the 3 elements that can hydrogen bond
What is N, O, and F
The bond that holds together protein moners
What is a peptide bond
A very acidic functional group
What is a carboxyl
What is DNA polymerase
DNA is always synthesized in this direction
What is 5' to 3'
This type of bond would be the only type found in a carbon hydrogen chain
What are Van der Waals
The complete functional 50+ amino acids
What is a protein
COOH
What is a carboxyl
Enzymes that recognize and correct incorrect bases
What is mismatched repair enzymes
This removes the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA
What is RNA Pol 1
This type of bond is found between water molecules
What are hydrogen bonds
Four types of side chains that determine amino acid properties
What are nonpolar, polar, negatively charged, and positively charged amino acids
R-OH
what is a hydroxyl
What is telomeres length
This breaks and rejoins the DNA double helix to relieve twisting force caused by the opening of the helix
What is topoisomerase
The reaction that forms a bond
What is a condensation reaction
The four components of an amino acid
Hydrogen atom, R group, amino group, carboxyl group
Contains only carbons and hydrogens
What is a methyl
Repairs damaged DNA by using the intact strand as a template
What is nucleotide excision repair
