| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organic Molecules that has 2 strands | DNA |
| Organic Molecule that has 1 strand | RNA |
| Sugar found in DNA | Deoxyribose Sugar |
| Sugar found in RNA | Ribose Sugar |
| DNA to DNA | replication |
| DNA to RNA | transcription |
| RNA to Protein | translation |
| DNA to RNA to protein | Central Dogma |
| A , T , C , G | DNA nucleotides |
| A, U , C, G | RNA nucleotides |
| location of DNA | nucleus only |
| location of RNA | nucleus and cytoplasm |
| phrases used to describe DNA molecule | double helix / twisted ladder |
| chemical bond holding nucleotide bases together in the center | weak hydrogen bonds |
| chemical bond holding sugar-phosphate backbone together | strong covalent bonds |
| 3- nucleotide base sequence of mRNA | codon |
| type of RNA carrying DNA's message out of the nucleus | mRNA |
| type of RNA involved in building subunits of ribosomes | rRNA |
| type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome | tRNA |
| transcription then translation is needed for this process | protein synthesis |
| enzyme that unzips DNA molecule by cutting hydrogen bonds | helicase |
| enzyme that add nucleotides to growing DNA strand & proofreads for replication errors | DNA polymerase |
| enzyme that "glues" DNA fragments back together | ligase |
| 3-nucleotide base sequence of tRNA | anticodon |
| gene mutation where 1 nucleotide is substituted for another | point mutation |
| gene mutation where the "reading frame" has been shifted to the left or to the right | frameshift mutation |
| gene mutation where a nucleotide has been added | insertion mutation |
| gene mutation where a nucleotide has been removed | deletion mutation |
| chromosomal mutation where a piece of chromosome moves to a non-homologous chromosome | translocation |
| mutation that will kill the organism | lethal |
| mutation that will not change any amino acids ; has no effect on phenotype of the organism | silent |
| mutations to these cells are NOT passed on to offspring | body (somatic) cells |
| mutations to these cells ARE passed on to offspring | sex ( germ / gametic) cells |
| traits from proteins are expressed because of this | sequence of amino acids |
