Biology 2

QuestionAnswer
What is the central Dogma of Molecular Biology DNA>RNA>Proteins
What can a Karyotype tell us about an individual An individual's collection of chromosomes, sex (M/F), and genetic disorders
What are genes They are sections of DNA that code for particular proteins
What is RNA A disposable copy of DNA
What biomolecule catagory is RNA, and what is its monomer Nucleic acid, and its monomer is nucleotide
What is the job of RNA To build proteins (polypeptides)
What are polypeptides They are long chains of amino acids held together by peptide bonds
Why are proteins important They help build cell organelles and cell membrane, they are used as enzymes to promote reactions, and they are important for cognition and mood in the brain
How does RNA build proteins It uses the instructions from DNA to build proteins (analogy: DNA = Boss / RNA = Worker)
What is Messenger RNA mRNA carries instructions from nucleus to ribosomes
What is Ribosomal RNA rRNA binds tRNA and mRNA during translation
What is Transfer RNA tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosomes (rRNA)
What are the two steps of Gene expression Translation and Transcription
What is transcription (RNA Synthesis) It occurs in the nucleus, and DNA is used as a template to make RNA using the enzyme RNA Polymerase
What is translation It occurs in the cytoplasm, and tRNA transfers amino acids for binding at the ribosome
What is used to determine the amino acid sequence Translation uses a genetic code to determine it
Where is the Codon found It is found on the mRNA
Where is the Anticodon found It is found on the tRNA
What does coding always begin with It always begins with the start codon which is AUG
What are the 3 stop codons UAA, UAG, and UGA (DO NOT CODE FOR JUNK DNA)

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.
