| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe the structure of DNA & relate this to its function. | |
| Explain how DNA & proteins are organized to form the chromosomes. | |
| Describe the types of RNA directly involved in producing proteins. | Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA). |
| Describe RNA structure & functional differences. | |
| How does RNA compare w/ DNA? | RNA is smaller, RNA consists of only one nucleotide vs. DNA having a double-helix, the sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose. |
| What is a gene? | Information containing segment of DNA that codes for the production of a molecule of RNA which then goes onto play a role in synthesis of one or more proteins. |
| What determines the amino acid sequence of a protein? | Nucleotide sequence in the DNA. |
| Define: Genetic Code | A system that enables these 4 nucleotides to code for the amino acid sequence of all proteins. |
| Define: Base Triplet | |
| Explain the difference between a codon or anticodon? | |
| Explain how DNA codes for protein synthesis. |
