Unit 7 DNA - Protein

CA 7 DNA to Protein

TermDefinition
-ase forms names of enzymes
Anticodon a sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule
base pairing principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine
Codon a sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.
DNA polymerase Enzyme involved in DNA replication that joins individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule
DNA A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.
double helix two strands of nucleotides wound about each other; structure of DNA
genetic code collection of codons of mRNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA) RNA molecule that carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins from DNA to the rest of the cell
pheno- to show
Replication process of copying DNA prior to cell division
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) type of RNA that combines with proteins to form ribosomes
RNA polymerase enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription using a DNA strand as a template
RNA A single-stranded nucleic acid that passes along genetic messages
script to write
Telomere repeating nucleotide at the ends of DNA molecules that do not form genes and help prevent the loss of genes
trans across
Transcription (genetics) the organic process whereby the DNA sequence in a gene is copied into mRNA
Transfer RNA (tRNA) type of RNA molecule that transfers amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis
Translation the process whereby genetic information coded in messenger RNA directs the formation of a specific protein at a ribosome in the cytoplasm

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.
