Ch 14 Vocab Bio RNA

Chap 14 RNA and Protein Synthesis Pearson Biology

QuestionAnswer
Full name for RNA ribonucleic acid
RNA sugar Ribose
Base that belongs to RNA only Uracil
Three types of RNA mRNA = messenger RNA rRNA = ribosomal RNA tRNA = transfer RNA
Function/Definition of mRNA type of RNA that carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm
Function/Definition of rRNA type ofnRNA that combines with proteins to form ribosomes
Function/Definition of tRNA type of RNA that carries each amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis has anticodon and amino acid attached to the tRNA
transcription synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template or process of copying a base sequence from DNA to RNA or DNA makes RNA through the process of transcription
RNA polymerase enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription, using a DNA strand as a template
DNA makes _________ makes _____________ DNA makes RNA makes Proteins
mutation that shifts the “reading frame” of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide frameshift mutation
long chain of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds that make proteins polypeptide
collection of codons of mRNA, each of which directs the incorporation of a particular amino acid into a protein during protein synthesis genetic code
group of three nucleotide bases in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid to be incorporated onto a protein codon
process by which the sequence of bases of an mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein translation
group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to the three bases of a codon of mRNA anticodon
change in the genetic material of a cell mutation
gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed point mutation
mutation that shifts the “reading frame” of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide frameshift mutation
chemical or physical agent in the environment that interacts with DNA and may cause a mutation mutagen
condition in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes polyploidy

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.
