RNA
Prevents gene expression by destroying RNA after it has been transcribed
What is RNAi?
Where eukaryotic transcription occurs
What is the nucleus?
Where translation occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
What are ribosomes?
Differences in a single base-pair that exist in a population
What are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)?
The three components of a nucleotide
What is a sugar, phosphate, and base?
The copy of a gene that codes for a protein
What is mRNA?
The goal of transcription
What is making RNA?
Translation starts when this is reached on the mRNA
What is the start codon (AUG)?
Genes may have two or more of these because of differences in the DNA sequence within the gene
What are alleles?
This is the complementary DNA sequence to the following: AAGTCC
What is TTCAGG?
Contains codons
What is mRNA?
The enzyme responsible for separating the strands of DNA and adding RNA nucleotides during transcription
What is RNA polymerase?
Translation ends when this is reached on the mRNA
What is a stop codon?
Three types of mutations that can cause SNPs
What are insertions, deletions, and substitutions?
The differences between DNA and RNA nucleotides
What are their sugars (deoxirobose vs ribose) and bases (T vs U)
Contains anticodons
What is tRNA?
This RNA sequence would be transcribed from the following DNA sequence: GCTAAC
What is CGAUUG?
This is produced by the end of translation
What is a polypeptide?
The amino acid sequence based on the following DNA sequence: TGCGTA
What is the sequence Threonine - Histodine?
The two strands of DNA are held together by this
What are hydrogen bonds?
Part of an RNA-protein complex that is directly involved in translation
What is rRNA?
Added chemicals to the DNA or histones that prevent or enhance transcription
What is epigenetics?
The tRNA molecule leaves this behind when it leaves the ribosome
What is an amino acid?
This is how cells in your body can have the exact same DNA but perform entirely different functions
What is differences in gene expression?
The sides of the DNA ladder
What are the sugar phosphate backbones?
