DNA
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DNA Replication | Making an exact copy of DNA |
| Parental DNA | The original double strand of DNA |
| Leading Strands | The strand that is made continuously |
| Lagging Strand | The strand that is built in pieces that need to be joined together by DNA Ligase |
| DNA Polymerase | Makes the new DNA |
| DNA Ligase | Connects the lagging strands together |
| Translation | A step in DNA Replication where the genetic code sequence is translated to an amino acid |
| Codon | A sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. |
| tRNA | One of a class of RNA molecules that transports amino acids to ribosomes for incorporation into a polypeptide undergoing synthesis. Also called transfer RNA . |
| Anticodon | A sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA. |
| RNA | Acts as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins. |
| Transcription | |
| RNA Polymerase | An enzyme that synthesizes the formation of RNA from a DNA template during transcription. A polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA from a DNA or RNA template. |
