| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A = T , C = G | Chargaff's DNA base pairing rules |
| A = U , C =G , T = A | Chargaff's RNA base pairing rules |
| 2 strands ; double helix | DNA structure |
| 1 strand | RNA structure |
| store genetic info | DNA purpose |
| make protein | RNA purpose |
| RNA that carries DNA's message out of nucleus | mRNA |
| RNA that helps make ribosomes | rRNA |
| RNA that carries/transports amino acids | tRNA |
| DNA --> RNA --> protein | central dogma |
| DNA --> DNA | replication |
| DNA --> RNA | transcription |
| in the nucleus | DNA location |
| in the cytoplasm | RNA location |
| cell organelle that makes protein | ribosome |
| RNA --> protein | translation |
| building blocks of protein | amino acid |
| chemical bond that holds amino acids together | peptide bonds |
| chemical bond that holds nitrogen bases together | hydrogen bonds |
| chemical bond that holds the sugar and phosphate groups together | covalent bonds |
| a 3 nucleotide sequence of mRNA | codon |
| a 3 nucleotide sequence of tRNA | anticodon |
| random change in DNA | mutation |
| point/substitution mutation | mutation that changes one nucleotide base (affects 1 amino acid) |
| frameshift mutation | mutation that changes the reading frame by inserting or deleting a nucleotide base (affects all amino acids after) |
| silent mutation | mutation that has no affect on the amino acids (no phenotype change) |
| lethal mutation | mutation that kills the organism |
| AUG | start codon (codes for met) |
| UGA , UAA , UAG | stop codons |
