DNA replication
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DNA replication | making an identical copy of parental strand of DNA happens in nucleus of cell |
| parental DNA | original double stranded DNA molecule that is being copied serves as a template |
| leading strand | is built continously |
| lagging strand | built in pieces or fragments |
| DNA polymerase | builds new strand of DNA by adding nucleotides one at a time builds 5' to 3' direction |
| DNA ligase | puts the DNA together |
| helicase | unzips the double helix strand to get it ready for DNA replication |
| RNA | is the product of transcription and is a copy of DNA except the t is replace with an u or uracil |
| transcription | the copying of the DNA strand to make a copy to make RNA but has uracil in the strand instead of a T or thymine |
| RNA polymerase | the polymerase will zip along the dna strand and will copy one of the sides of the dna |
| translation | were a RNA will go to protien |
| codon | 3 nucleotide on mRNA read by the ribosomes |
| tRNA | transfer RNA/translator bring GA to the growing protien |
| anticodon | 3 nucleotides on the tRNA that are complementary to the mRNA codon |
