test review

QuestionAnswer
DNA (deozyribonucleic acid) a molecule that stores genetic information in all organisms
RNA nucleic acid; responsible for carring and translating DNA's message into protein
chromosome condensed pieces of single long strands of DNA
gene specific location on a chromosone that codes for a single protein
proteins a functional, finished product
nucleic acids polymer of nucleotides; the genetic material of organisms
nucleotide monomer that forms DNA and has a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogen-containing base.
complementary bases either of the nucleotide bases linked by a hydrogen bond on opposite strands of DNA or double-stranded RNA
base pair DNA--a always pairs with t. c always pairs with G.RNA--a always pairs with u. c always pairs with g.
DNA replication occurs in the nucleus;
central dogma theory that states that, in cells, information only flows from DNA to RNA to proteins
transcription occurs in the nucleus; copying a sequence of DNA to produce a complementary strand of RNA
translation occurs in the cytoplasm; process that converts an mRNA into a polypeptide
tRNA tranfer RNA; transfers amino acids
mRNA messenger RNA; message that gets translated to form a protein
rRNA ribosomal RNA; forms parts of ribosomes
RNA polymerase enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of RNA from a DNA 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.
