SLS Bio12 DNA RG
SLS Bio12 DNA Protein Synthesis RG
| complementary base pairing | H- Bonds between bases. A with T, : two hydrogen bonds. G with C: three hydrogen bonds |
| DNA helicase | Unwinds and unzip the double stranded DNA |
| DNA polymerase | Positions and joins nucleotides for complementary base pairing |
| recombinant DNA | |
| replication | Copying one DNA helix into two identical helices |
| semi-conservative replication | Each new double helix has one old conserved strand and one new strand. |
| anti-codon | Triplet set bases that is complementary to a specific codon of mRNA |
| codon | each 3-nucleotide unit of a mRNA molecule |
| DNA sequence (genetic code | genetic information as a species |
| Elongation | Amino acids are added one at at time to the growing polypeptide |
| environmental mutagen | Radiation, organic chemicals. Causes errors in replications that faults protein syntheses with a faulty protein produced. |
| genetic disorder | |
| initiation | First tRNA has come to the robosime and attached to the mRNA with the anticodon pertaining to the codon on the mRNA |
| messenger RNA (mRNA) | Takes a message from DNA to the ribosomes. In cells, DNA is in the nucleus, and the ribosomes are in the cytoplasm |
| mutation | the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA |
| Termination | Ribosomes separated into its two subunits, and the polypeptide is released |
| transcription | a Segment if DNA serves as a templte for the production of mRNA. RNA polymerase builds the mRNA sequence from the promoter DNA template |
| transfer RNA (tRNA) | Bring amino acids to the ribosomes. One end is a specific nucleotide sequence with a specific amino acid. Other end is anticodon. |
| translation | Gene expression leads to prtein syntheses. Requires several enzymes. mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA |
