What is DNA?
A make up of genes for all living things.
What are the two stages of protein synthesis?
transcription and translation
The location of transcription.
nucleus
The location of translation.
ribosome
A mutation where one base replaces another.
Point or substitution
What are the base pairs in RNA?
A series of 3 bases on an mRNA strand.
codon
The molecules in transcription.
DNA and mRNA
The codon is CGA, what is the anticodon?
GCU
The type of mutation seen here.
Original: ATCCGTACGTCA
Mutation: ATCGCGTACGTCA
Frameshift insertion
One difference between DNA and RNA.
DNA: double stranded, cannot leave nucleus, ATCG
RNA: single stranded, can leave nucleus, AUCG
The molecule that delivers the amino acid.
tRNA
The end result of transcription.
mRNA
The molecules of translation.
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
The effect of the amino acid sequence from a point mutation in DNA.
No change or a change in one amino acid
A change in the sequence of DNA.
mutation
Amino acid sequence for AUG CGA UAA.
MET ARG STOP
The mRNA sequence from this DNA template: ACGCGATAG
UGCGCUAUC
Identify the green/blue molecule.
ribosome
Type of mutation in the DNA:
Original: ACTAATCAGGCA
Mutated: ACTATCAGGCA
Frameshift deletion
What sugars do DNA and mRNA have?
DNA deoxyribose, RNA ribose
The anticodon on the tRNA is GUA, what is the codon?
CAU
The enzyme that adds RNA bases to match the DNA template.
RNA polymerase
The process is taking place in the image and explain how you know.
FINAL JEOPARDY: Transcribe and Translate the following DNA sequence: TAC GCT CCC AGC AUT
There will be no protein because U is not present in DNA.
