DNA, RNA, and Proteins
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| location of DNA what is it made of? | found in the nucleus of the cell Made of phosphate , deoxyribose sugar , and four different nitrogenous bases ( A, T, C, G ) |
| What breaks bonds during replication? | helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds |
| replication | Replication is making an exact copy of DNA in the synthesis phase of interphase. |
| Dna Polymerase | an enzyme that brings in complimentary nucleotides during replication |
| transcription | a single strand of RNA is made from the DNA template to take message from the nucleus out into the cytoplasm. |
| mRNA | it provides the blueprint for making proteins because DNA can not leave the nucleus. |
| DNA | deoxyribose sugar;thymine goes with adenine; double helix;stays in the nucleus |
| RNA | ribose sugar; adenine goes with uracil; single stand; leaves the nucleus |
| what enzyme created mRNA | RNA polymerase |
| translation | Assembly of amino acids into proteins. Takes place in the ribosomes |
| codon | Sequence of 3 nucleotides on mRNA that code for a specific amino acid |
| tRNA | Finds and transfers amino acids to the ribosome and attaches them to the mRNA strand |
| mutation | Change in genetic material Can be neutal |
| point mutation | changes one amino acid in the protein |
| insertion or deletion's affect on the genetic code | changes all amino acids after the insertion or deletions. will have a code for differenet protein |
