dna replication
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 3 types of RNA 1-Messenger RNA (mRNA) | Messenger RNA (mRNA) Consists of a sequence of nucleotides that determines the primary sequence of a polypeptide Found in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and ribosome |
| DNA | DNA Sugar (5-carbon): deoxyribose Shape: double helix (two strands) Bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C) |
| RNA | |
| 3 types of RNA 2-Transfer RNA (tRNA) | Transfer RNA (tRNA) Folded upon itself and carries amino acids to mRNA during protein synthesis Found in the cytoplasm and ribosome Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) |
| 3 types of RNA 3-Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) | Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Major component of ribosomes Found in the ribosome |
| Protein Synthesis | Step One: Transcription The process by which RNA (mRNA) is produced from a DNA template Step Two: Translation The assembly of a polypeptide in a sequence specified by the order of nucleotides in the mRNA |
| Transcription Step One: Enzyme unwinds the DNA Helix | -DNA helicase (enzyme) breaks the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases and unzips the DNA in the region that needs to be transcribed -Only one strand of DNA is transcribed (anti-sense strand), the other strand is not transcribed (sense strand) |
