Question | Answer |

RNA nucleotide contains these three things | 5-carbon sugar(ribose), phosphate group, nitrogen base(A, U, C & Cr) |
DNA-5 Characteristics | sugar-deoxyribose, double stranded structure, Nitrogen bases-A,T, C, Cr, found in the nucleus, two main functions-replication, provides instructions for making proteins |
RNA 5 Characteristics | Ribose, single stranded, A,U,C, Cr, outside nucleus on ribosomes, uses instructions from DNA to make proteins |
Messenger RNA | carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acid in into proteins from DNA to the rest of teh cell |
Ribosomal RNA | makes up the major protein of the ribosome and sees the production of proteins |
Transfer RNA | transfers in appropriate amino acids during protein synthesis |
transcription | process in which part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA is copied into a complimentary sequence of DNA |
transcription | this occurs in the nucleus |
RNA polymerase | an enzyme similar DNA polymerase that binds to a segment of DNA and separates the strands during transcription |
promoter | region of DNA that indicates to an enzyme where to bind to make RNA |
intron | sequence of DNA that is not involved in coding for a protein |
exons | the expressed sequence of DNA that does code for a protein |
Codons | a 3 nucleotide sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid |
translation | occurs on ribosomes, when the cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins |
2 functions of DNA | replication, provides instructions of making proteins |
another name for sugar | deoxyribose |
DNA is found here | the nucleus |
RNA is found here | on ribosomes outside the nucleus |
DNA structure | double stranded |
RNA structure | single stranded |
