DNA and Protein Syn

DNA and Protein Synthesis

TermDefinition
DNA Deoxyribose Sugar In all living things Stores information
Nucleotide Base units of DNA Phosphate, Deoxyribose sugar, and Nitrogenous base
Nitrogen Bases (A, T, C, G, U) Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil
Double Helix 2 strands wrapped around each other
DNA Replication (3 steps) Process of copying DNA 2 Processes use this Mitosis and Meiosis 1. Enzyme breaks down DNA strand 2. Each new strand will get a complimentary base 3. DNA rewinds into a double helix strand
DNA polymerase Enzyme that breaks down the DNA strand
Protein Synthesis Proteins made up of several amino acids 2 steps 1. Transcription 2. Translation
RNA Ribonucleic Acid Singe stranded 3 Nitrogen Bases Adenine Cytosine Guanine Uracil
Messenger RNA Carries message as a codon
Ribosomal RNA Ribosome RNA
Transfer RNA Brings amino acids to build proteins
Transcription The production of complimentary RNA copy from a DNA template.
RNA Polymerase Enzyme that builds the new RNA strand
Codon Has amino acids in it. Carried by messenger RNA.
Translation The use of the mRNA codons to produce proteins.

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.
