DNA-RNA
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleotide | -Nucleic Acid -Nucleotides found in DNA... ...Adenine & Thymine ...Cytocine & Guanine |
| Gene | -Part of a DNA strand that carries information for 1 inherited trait. -A small segment of ordered nucleotides or nucleic acids. |
| Chromosome | -In the nucleus. -Is made of DNA. -Usually come in pairs. |
| DNA | -DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. -Contains all the hereditary information for its living organism. |
| Supercoil | Very long strand twisted into tiny space. |
| Protein | Peptide chain made of Amino Acid links. |
| Nucleus | Center of a cell. Contains DNA. |
| Eukaryotic cells | Complex cells that have a nucleus. |
| Sequence | order |
| genetic | the study of genes or heredity. |
| Template | pattern for future copies |
| Heredity | traits inherited from one generation of a living thing to the next. |
| Helix | twisted |
| replication | make copies of |
| mutation | -change in DNA. -Change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. |
| Ribosomes | produce proteins |
| Amino Acids | links in protein chains or peptide chains. |
| Peptide chains | protein chains made of Amino Acid links |
| Differentiation | differences |
| Variation | differences among similar things. |
| mRNA | -Messenger RNA. -Carries the DNA code to the tRNA so that more DNA can be produced. |
| tRNA | -Transfer RNA. -Translates the DNA code received from the mRNA into the real thing by building the proteins the DNA code requires. |
| Where is DNA located? | Chromosomes |
| Where are chromosomes located? | Nucleus of eukaryotic cell |
| What is another name for nucleotides? | Nucleic Acids |
| Adenine is always a partner to what other nucleotide? | Thymine |
| Cytocine is always a partner to what other nucleotide? | Guanine |
| Name the 4 nucleic acids of DNA... | Adenine & Thymine, Guanine & Cytocine |
| Where in the cell are proteins manufactured? | Ribosomes |
| What are the nucleotides in RNA | Adenine & Uracil, Guanine & Cytocine |
| How is cell differentiation caused, if all cells have the same DNA? | It depends on if a gene is switched on or off. |
