Inheritance of Trait

Biology

QuestionAnswer
Contains the genes that determine who you are. DNA
The finding of the differences between adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. chargaff's rules
Spiral staircase. double helix
DNA double helix that consists of two polynucleotide chains. nucleotide
Stick in the middle of the double helix forming the steps of the spiral staircase. base pairs
The process in which DNA is copied. DNA replication
The process of splitting half of the parent DNA molecule is conserved in each of the two daughter DNA molecules. semi-conservative
2-ringed carbon bases. Adenine and Guanine. Purines
1-ringed carbon base. Thymine and Cytosine. pyrimidines
Where strands are separated. Growing and replication fork
Small molecule that can squeeze through proes in the nuclear membrane. RNA
This copies the genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus and carries them to the cytoplasm. Messenger RNA
This helps form ribosomes where proteins are assembled/made. Ribosomal RNA
This brings amino acids to ribosomes where they are joined together to form proteins. Transfer RNA
To paraphrase or summerize in writing. Transcribe
Process in which cells make proteins. Protein synthesis
Takes place in the nucleus. Uses DNA as a template to make an RNA molecule. RNA leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm where translation occurs. Transcription
Reads the genetic code in mRNA and make proteins. And is the second part of the central dogma of molecular biology. Translation
First step. Occurs when the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. This signals DNA to unwind so the enzyme can read the bases in one of the DNA strands. Make a strand of mRNA with complementary sequence of bases. Initiation
Second step. The addition of nucleotides to make the mRNA strand. Elongation
The ending of transcription and occurs when RNA polymerase crosses a stop sequence in the gene. The mRNA strand is complete and it detaches from DNA. Termination
Determine the structure and function of all your cells. proteins
Makes up the proteins. amino acids
In what order does RNA, Protein, and DNA placed. DNA, RNA, Protein
In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes always remain in the what. Nucleus
Where are proteins made? Ribosomes in cytoplasm.
Removes introns from mRNA. splicing
Regions that do not code for proteins. introns
The remaining mRNA consists only of regions that do code for proteins. exons
Changes some of the nucleotides in mRNA, one form is smaller that the other because it adds a premature stop signal in mRNA. editing
Adds a "tail" to the mRNA, the tail consists of string of A's, it signals the end of mRNA and it is also involved in exporting mRNA from the nucleus. The tail protects mRNA from enzymes that might break it down. polyadenylation
Consists of the sequence of nitrogen bases-A,C, G, U-- in an mRNA chain. genetic code
The four bases make up the leters of the genetic code. The letters are combined in groups of three to form code words. codons
Codes for the amino acid methinonine,and is the start codon that begins translation. AUG
Establishes the reading frame of mRNA. start codon
Is the way the letters are divided into codons. reading frame
UAG, UGA, and UAA are this. Does not code for amino acids, and is also known as termination codons. stop codon
A sequence of 3 bases and is complementary to the codon for an amino acid. anticodon
Bonds form between adjacent amino acids as they are brought one by one to the ribosome. polypeptide

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
