| Question |
Answer |
| mRNA |
synthesizes protein |
| rRNA |
structural component of ribosomes |
| tRNA |
carries the an amino acid from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes for incorperation to a growing protein |
| proof-reading is called |
3'-5' exonuclease activity |
| toposiomerases |
fixes suppercoiling |
| RNA pol I |
makes rRNA |
| proteins are made... |
in the cytoplasm |
| RNA pol II |
makes mRNA |
| three differences bw DNA and RNA |
DNA uses deoxyribose instead of ribose; DNA uses thymine instead of uracil; DNA is double stranded while RNA is usually single |
| RNA pol III |
makes tRNA |
| transformation |
the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the uptake, genomic incorporation, and expression of foreign genetic material inheritable genetic combo |
| conjunction |
the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell-to-cell contact. Donor male (+); recipient female (-). They have sex pili |
| transduction |
is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus. |
