RNA types
Carries the genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm/ribosome.
What is mRNA?
Double stranded genetic code with a "double helix" shape.
What is DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid is shortened to this.
What is DNA?
What DNA makes this in DNA replication,
What is an exact copy of itself?
The process that converts DNA into mRNA.
What is Transcription?
Carries an amino acid to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
Single stranded genetic code.
What is RNA?
This is the "back-bone" of DNA.
What is sugar/phosphate?
The enzyme that makes new DNA strands.
What is DNA polymerase?
This is the process that converts the mRNA message into proteins.
What is translation?
It is found within the ribosome and makes proteins.
What is rRNA?
This is the sugar in DNA and this is the sugar in RNA.
What is deoxyribose and ribose?
The Nitrogen bases in DNA
What are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)?
Make the complementary strand.
TTG ACT GCG
What is AAC TGA CGC?
This is the amino acid that AAC codes for
What is Asn?
The three nitrogen bases on a tRNA are called this.
What is an anticodon?
These are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and these are the four in RNA.
DNA= A, T, C, G
RNA= A, U, C, G
Sugar, phosphate, and one nitrogen base combined make this.
What is a nucleotide?
Any change in the DNA is called this and is caused by this.
What is mutation and mutagen?
The enzyme required to make RNA from DNA
What is RNA polymerase?
The three nitrogenous bases on an mRNA are called this.
What is a codon?
Match to complimentary pair: AUG GGU ACC
What is UAC CCA UGG?
Year DNA was discovered.
What is 1953? (very improbable test question)
DNA replication is called semi-conservative because of this.
What is each new strand of DNA has one old copy and one new copy?
This is the amino acid sequence for the DNA sequence below.
AAT GCG AGC
What is
mRNA: UUA CGC UCG
AA: Leu Arg Ser
