DNA replication and translation/transcription
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| chemical bonds | forces that hold atoms together |
| covalent bond | chemical in which electrons are shared |
| ionic bonds | chemical bonds between ions, one or more electrons have been transferred |
| hydrogen bond | hydrogen is shared between 2 electronegative atoms |
| condensation (dehydration) | molecule of water removed each time a new monomer is added, repeats lots of times |
| hydrolysis | polymers break down into monomers using water |
| central dogma | DNA codes for RNA, RNA codes for protein |
| transcription | DNA codes for RNA |
| Translation | RNA codes for proteins |
| eukaryotic transcription and translation | pre-mRNA synthesized in nucleus, RNA processing occurs when it leaves the nucleus to make the mRNA (splicing), translation in cytosol |
| prokaryotic protein synthesis | everything in cytosol |
| Start codon | AUG (Methionine) (augmenting the strand) |
| stop codon | UGA, UAG, UAA University of Georgia, U are great, u are awesome |
| Ribonucleotides |
