The central part of a cell, where all activity comes from. It is also considered the "brain" of the cell.
The nucleus.
100
a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane
cytoplasm
100
The language of mRNA instructions.
Genetic Code
100
True or false, translation comes first during protein synthesis?
False
100
What base matches with the base A during protein synthesis
Base U
200
deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
DNA
200
a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
Ribosomes
200
During the construction of proteins, this is what transfers each amino acid to the ribosome.
tRNA
200
True or false? C and G pair together and A and T pair together during protein synthesis?
False, A and U pair together during protein synthesis. A and T pair together during DNA replication.
200
What are the building blocks of protein?
Amino acids
300
First step of protein synthesis
Transcription
300
2nd Step of protein synthesis
Translation
300
This carriers copies of instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins.
mRNA
300
These are the codes for protein
Exons
300
Where does protein synthesis occur?
The ribosome.
400
A group of bases located on the mRNA that connects with the tRNA during the translation stage of protein synthesis.
Codons.
400
any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms
Proteins
400
A group of bases located on the tRNA that links with the mRNA during protein synthesis.
Anti-codon
400
What are the stop codons?
UAA
UAG
UGA
400
What are the bases called that are attached to tRNA?
anticodons
500
a simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl (—COOH) and an amino (—NH2) group.
Amino Acid
500
What is the enzyme that synthesizes the formation of RNA from DNA during transcription.
RNA Polymerase
500
What are the steps of the central dogma of biology?
Replication, Transcription, and Translation.
500
True or False: It doesnt matter what order a group of bases are when they are grouped into a codon, the end result will always be the same kind of protein.
False, there are different kinds of proteins, which all depend on the order of the bases.
500
Which RNA is used in both transcription and translation?
