DNA
What is DNA?
DNA is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code.
What is Transcription?
It is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
What is translation?
It is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins.
What is protein?
It is a class of macromolecules that perform a diverse range of functions for the cell.
What is the Codon Wheel?
It is a useful tool to find which amino acid is translated from your RNA sequence.
What DNA used for?
DNA is used as evidence in courts, to identify bodies, track down blood relatives, and to look for cures for disease.
What molecule does transcription start with?
RNA polymerase
Where does translation occur in?
It occurs in the Ribosome.
What are proteins made of?
The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.
Who uses is the codon wheel?
Scientists,researchers,and students
Why do we need DNA?
DNA carries the instructions necessary for your cells to produce proteins that affect many different processes and functions in your body.
What molecule does transcription end with?
Termination
What is the order of translation?
Beginning, middle, and end
What are proteins used for?
They are coded for by our genes and form the basis of living tissues.
How many codons are there?
There are 64 different codons.
Is DNA made up of nucleotides?
Yes,nucleotides are the basic units of DNA.
initiation,elongation, and termination.
Why is translation important?
It is very important in the process of making proteins
What are the structures of proteins?
fibrous,globular,and membrane
What are the three stop codons?
U A A, U G A and U A G
What is the structure of DNA?
It is two strands of nucleotides.
What's the end result of transcription?
A complementary strand of messengerRNA (mRNA)
What is the products of translation?
proteins
What are proteins polymers of?
amino acids
What are the three types of codons?
(start, stop, and "normal")
