DNA/RNA
The shape of a DNA molecule is referred to as this
What is a double helix?
The process of DNA turning to mRNA is called...
What is Transcription?
A change in a segment of DNA is called this
The codon is UUU
What is the amino acid PHE?
This organelle is referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell"
What is the mitochondria?
The organelle that is responsible for holding the DNA in each cell
What is the nucleus?
a chain of amino acids fold in on itself to create this
What is a protein?
A mutation that changes one nucleotide
What is a Point Mutation?
The codon is ACT
What is a STOP codon?
This organelle has two parts, one has ribosomes attached and the other does not
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
The nucleotide that is not in DNA, but in RNA
What is Uracil?
The process of mRNA being read to create a sequence of amino acids is referred to as this
What is Translation?
A mutation that changes an entire segment of DNA
What is a Chromosomal Mutation?
This codon means START
What is AUG?
This structure is in plant cells, not in animal cells, and helps the plant keep its shape
What is the cell wall?
the four bases that are found in RNA
What is Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, and Guanine?
Proteins perform multiple functions in our bodies, these are the main three.
What is provide structure, act as enzymes, and help cells communicate?
These two things can occur if DNA mutates
What is a disorder or disease?
The amino acid that was made is CYS
What is codon UGU or UGC?
This organelle acts as a door-man as sorts, allowing what comes in and goes out of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
these three parts make up a DNA molecule
What is a sugar, phosphate group, and 1 of 4 nitrogenous bases?
This principle describes how cells use and express our genetic code and how DNA transcripts to RNA to make proteins.
What is the Central Dogma?
Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by this type of mutation
What is a Point Mutation?
The DNA sequence that codes for the amino acid TRP
What is ACC?
This organelle controls all things the cell does
What is the Nucleus?
