DNA Notes

TermDefinition
Genes Units of genetic material that codes for a specific trait
DNA and RNA are examples of Nucleic Acids
DNA is made up of Repeating molecules called Nucleotides (building blocks)
Nucleotide consists of three different structures 1) Phosphate group 2) Sugar Deoxyribose 3) Nitrogenous Base
DNA Structure Is called DOUBLE HELIX
DOUBLE HELIX was discovered by 3 scientist 1)Fredrick Griffith 2) Rosalind Franklin 3) Watson and Crick
DNA had specific pairing between nitrogen Bases Adenine... Thymine Cytosine....Guanine
DNA is made of 2 long strands of Nucleotides arranged in a specific way Complementary Rule
Purines: Adenine Guanine
Pyrimidine's Thymine Cytosine
Adenine must pair with Thymine
Guanine must pair with Cytosine
Different arrangements of Nucleotides in a nucleic acid DNA provides Key to DIVERSITY among living organism
The Code of the Chromosome the specific order that bases occur.
Chromosomes DNA is wrapped tightly around histones and coiled tightly
DNA is replicated to prepare for a cell division During phase of a cell lifecycle.
Nucleus of the cell occurs during DNA replication
Template Each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the new strand.
DNA Molecule Will produce 2 identical new complementary strands at the completion of DNA replication.
Enzyme Helicase Breaks the hydrogen bonds connecting the complimentary bases of the original DNA molecule.
Enzyme DNA Polymerase binds the new nucleotides to the original strand and proof reads for mistakes in pairing
Helicase is doing this The DNA molecule and allows for new complimentary nucleotides to match up with the nucleotides of the original template

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.
