| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The information contained in DNA is stored in blocks called | Genes |
| The Genes code for | proteins, the proteins determine what a cell will be like. |
| The DNA stores the information safely in the | Nucleus where it never leaves. |
| The path of information is often referred to as the | central dogma DNA - RNA - protein |
| The use of information in DNA to direct the production of particular proteins is called | Gene Expression |
| Name the two stages of Gene Expression aka central dogma | Transcription, Translation |
| Transcription | is the process when a messenger RNA (mRNA) is made from a gene within the DNA. |
| Translation | is the process of using the mRNA to direct the production of a protein. |
| RNA is the same as DNA except | the sugars in RNA have an extra oxygen and T is replaced by another pyrimidine called Uracil. |
| The cell uses three kinds of RNA | 1. Messenger 2. ribosomal 3. transfer. |
| The protein called ___________ produces the mRNA copy of DNA during transcrition. | RNA polymerase |
