🗑
What molecule is resonpsible for the production of proteins in a cell?   tRNA  
🗑
If you know the sequnce of bases on achain of nucleotided of DNA, will you know the sequence of bases on the other chain?   Yes because DNA has 2 strands and 1 strand is complentary  
🗑
Why do we say the code for the control of the cell is written in triplets?   Because 3 condons make up 1 amino acids  
🗑
Briefly describe the process by which DNA replicates itself?   Each new DNA molcule is made up of 1 old nuceotides and 1 new strand. DNA repliaction, because of certain proteins reprents direct that pross unwinding called helicase, DNA polymerase which adds to free nuelitides  
🗑
The molcule responsible for the trasfere of infor from DNA to the ribosomes?   mRNA  
🗑
Descibe how protiens are synthesized.   Protein formed by linking many amino acids together.  
🗑
Does the DNA in your stomach diff form the DNA in your cells of skin?   No  
🗑
Define operator   turn genes on  
🗑
Distinguish between Repressor and regulators   1.Repressor- acting DNA molecules by amolecule which combine with it. Regulator coded different segments DNA of a chromsome  
🗑
helicase   an enyme that untwists the double helix of DNA at the replication forks  
🗑
Polymerase   an enzyme that catalyzes the elongation of the new DNA at the rlication fork by the addition of nucleotides to the existing chains.  
🗑
messenger RNA   Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic code from the DNA in the chromosomes  
🗑
nucleotide   the basic building block of nucleic acid. It consists of any one of four specific purine or pyrimidine bases attached to a ribose or deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group.  
🗑
nucleic acids   the largest of the molecules in living organisms. It is composed of a chain of nucleotides that code for the synthesis of specific proteins. DNA and RNA are types of nucleic acid.  
🗑
where is DNA located?   in the nucleus  
🗑
what is proteins   any of a large number of organic molecules that are composed of one or more chains of amino acids.  
🗑
replication (of DNA)   occurs during the rest period (interphase) at the outset of mitosis and meiosis by which a DNA molecule is duplicated or copied. One DNA molecule becomes two identical ones. This is accomplished by the DNA molecule unwinding and unzipping along its base  
🗑
ribosomes   Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are assembled  
🗑
RNA (ribonucleic acid )   (ribonucleic acid )  
🗑
tRNA   a form of RNA that binds to specific amino acid molecules and transports them to the ribosomes for the assembly of proteins. Transfer RNA molecules temporarily bond with corresponding messenger RNA codons at the ribosomes in this process of protein synt  
🗑
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)   the RNA molecules that are located in the ribosomes.  
🗑
Who dicover the structure of DNA?   Watson and Grick(1935  
🗑
3 fucntions of DNA   Replication,DNA synthesis,RNA synthesis, translation of protien synthesis  
🗑
Structure of an nucleotide?   phosphoste group,5 carbon sugar,orangic base-uracil(nitrogen base  
🗑
3 kinds of RNA   mRNA,rRNA,,tRNA

2 kinds of nuclitides and differents   RNA ,SUGAR, DNA- deoxribose  
🗑
5 differnet types of oraginic bases   adiene,urcil,cystone thamine,gaunine  
🗑
2 kinds of nuclici acid   (blank)  
🗑
DNA is held together by   hydrogen bonds  
🗑
petide bonds   chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O).  
🗑
phophate sugar   back bone of DNA  
🗑
what is Nitritengous base   purines  
🗑
what is x-ray crystallgraphy   The application of high-powered beams of energy, often X-rays, to discern the shapes formed by a crystallized sample of molecules. This is the technique used by Watson and Crick to discover the double helix shape of DNA, and is still in use 50 years later  
🗑
What is purines?   A nitrogen- containing, single ring compound that occurs in nucleic acids. In DNA molecules, the purines are adenine and guanine.  
🗑
What is pyrimidines?   A nitrogen containing, double ring compound that occurs in nucleic acids. In DNA molecules, the pyrimidines are cytosine and thymine.  
🗑
two kinds of nitrogen-containing bases   purines and pyrimidines  
🗑
give examples of purines   adenine and guanine  
🗑

🗑
semiconservative replication   The normal process of DNA synthesis, in which the two original strands of the molecule separate, and each acts as a template on which a new complementary strand is laid down.  
🗑
