DNA and RNA
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adenine (A) and Guanine (G) | purine plus purine |
| Codon | a sequence of 3 nucleotides. it could be either Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) or Uracil (U)/Thymine (T). |
| Codon | There could be 64 variants |
| Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T) | pyrimidine plus pyrimidine |
| deoxyribose | purine and pyrimidine are attached to it. Its a five carbon carbohydrate. |
| DNA | coded information contained in the nucleus, |
| DNA ligase | help in the final phosphodiester bond between nucleotides |
| DNA polymerase | helps in the synthesis of DNA |
| DNA topoisomerase | enzyme that removes supercoils in the helix |
| Eukaryotic | nucleoprotein in nucleus |
| fRNA | synthesize ribosomes.present on endoplasmic reticulum or cytoplams of cells. 80% of the total |
| genotype | genetic makeup of an organism |
| heterozygous | Having two different alleles for a trait |
| homozygous | Having two identical alleles for a trait. |
| mRNA | makes 5% of total. Present in nucleus. Receives genetic codes from DNA and carries them to ribosomes. |
| nitrogenous base | purine and pyrimidine |
| Nucleotide | nitrogenous base, phosphate group and deoxyribose. |
| phenotype | The physical traits that appear in an individual as a result of its gentic make up. |
| phosphate group | derived from phosphoric acid.connects deoxyribose to one another in nucleotide chain. |
| Prokaryotic | contains single, double stranded, supercoiled,circular chromosome.associated to RNA |
| Prokaryotic | contains small,circular, extrachromosomal DNA molecule known as plasmid. It carries genetic info. |
| Prokaryotic | nucleoprotein in nucleoid |
| ribosomes | sites where aa are linked to one another to synthesize proteins. |
| RNA | contains ribose rather than deoxyribose. |
| RNA | nucleic or ribonucleic acid, helps syntehsis of proteins/aa. |
| RNA | nucleotides (more especifically the nitrogenous base) contains uracil (U) rather than thymine (T) |
| RNA polymerase | accomplishes the synthesis of different types of RNA. |
| tRNA | exist in cytoplasm of cell. 15% of total.carry aa to ribosomes. |
| Types of RNA | rRNA or ribosomal RNA, tRNA or transfer RNA and mRNA or messenger RNA. |
