DNA Structure
This type of bond holds complementary nitrogen bases together across the two DNA strands?
Hydrogen bonds
The enzyme that unzips/breaks the DNA double helix
Helicase
The product made during transcription
mRNA
Where does translation take place in the eukaryotic cell
Cytoplasm
A mutation that changes one base but doesn't change the amino acid sequence
Silent mutation
In DNA, adenine always pairs with this nitrogenous base?
Thymine
The enzyme that adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand
DNA polymerase
The enzyme that builds the RNA strand from DNA
RNA polymerase
The three base sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid
Codon
A mutation that changes one amino acid in a protein
Missense
This sugar makes DNA different from RNA?
What is deoxyribose
Short DNA segments formed on the lagging strand during replication
Transcription occurs in this part of the eukaryotic cell
Nucleus
The molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome
tRNA
A mutation that creates a stop codon when the protein is not done being made
nonsense
Name the two parts that make up the backbone of DNA?
Sugar and Phosphate group
The strand synthesized continuously towards the replication fork
Leading strand
The DNA strand used as the template to make mRNA
Template strand
The start codon for translation
AUG (methionine)
Insertion or deletion of a nucleotide that shifts the reading frame
The direction of DNA strands is described as this because the strands run in opposite directions (3' to 5' and 5' to 3')
Antiparallel
Why is DNA called semi conservative
One old strand and one new strand
After transcription in eukaryotes, these non coding regions are removed from RNA
What is the P site
Holds the tRNA molecule that carries the growing polypeptide
Why are frameshift mutations normally more severe then missense mutations
They change the codon after the mutation which changes the rest of the sequence
