DNA, RNA

QuestionAnswer
in 1953 Watson and crick built a model of DNA. What shape was their model of DNA? double helix
deoxyribonucleic acid is named after which component of nucleotide? deoxyribose sugar
what are the primary functions of DNA store genetic energy and transmit it to the next generation
DNA is a polymer made up of repeating units of nucleotides. What three parts made a nucleotide? phosphate sugar, carbon sugar, nitrogenous base
which enzyme unwinds the double helix? topoisomerase
which enzyme unzips it? helicase
which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides and building the new DNA strands? DNA polymerase
which enzyme is responsible for bonding the sugar phosphates of the DNA double helix during replication DNA Ligase
what does Chargaff's rule, or the base pairing rules, state about the structure of DNA A pairs with T, C with G.
in the model of DNA, what molecules make up the rungs of the ladder? nitrogen bases
In the DNA model what molecules make up the sides of the DNA ladder Sugar and Phosphate Molecules
which scientist used X-rays to photograph DNA and used "photo 51" to show DNA had a helix shape? Rosalind Franklin
where in the cell does the process of translation take place? cytoplasm
which molecules transport amino acids to the ribosomes to be used to build proteins? tRNA
which molecule, built during the process of transcription, carries the DNA message to the ribosome? mRNA
how many nitrogen bases make up an mRNA codon? 3
which nitrogen bases in DNA are pyrimidines? cytosine and thymine
where in the DNA can the genetic code be found? in the sequence of nitrogen bases in DNA
what holds the purines and pyrimidines together in DNA? hydrogen bonds
the process of transcription occurs in which part of the cell? nucleus
state 3 differences between DNA and RNA DNA has deoxyribose and RNA has ribose. DNA has thymine and RNA has uracil. DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single stranded
what does the central dogma of molecular biology state? DNA -> RNA -> Protein

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.
