Biology Unit 5 Learning Statements Making Proteins

        Help!  

Question
Answer
DNA   deoxyribonucleic acid; contains the sugar deoxyribose; forms chromosomes wrapped around a histone protein  
🗑
DNA   contains the genetic code or instructions for making proteins; found in the nucleus of a cell  
🗑
RNA   ribonucleic acid; contains the sugar ribose  
🗑
RNA   used to carry the instructions and to make proteins from the DNA code  
🗑
Amino Acid Sequence   determined by the code in deoxyribonucleic acid  
🗑
Protein   string of amino acids joined together by a peptide bond folded into specific shapes  
🗑
mRNA   carries instructions from DNA to the ribosome  
🗑
tRNA   brings the correct amino acid by matching complementary bases of mRNA  
🗑
Transcription   mRNA matching the DNA by complementary base pairing; occurs in the nucleus  
🗑
Translation   mRNA base pairing with tRNA at the ribosome to create a protein from the DNA code  
🗑
DNA Nitrogen Base Sequence   codes for the traits of organisms ; determines the order of the amino acids to make proteins  
🗑
DNA Complementary Base Pairs   A-T, C-G adenine-thymine , cytosine-guanine  
🗑
DNA to RNA Complementary Base Pairs   A-U,T-A,C-G,G-C adenine-uracil, thymine-adenine, cytosine-guanine, guanine-cytosine  
🗑
Hydrogen Bonds   holds complementary base pairs in DNA  
🗑
Peptide Bonds   holds amino acids to form proteins  
🗑
Codon   three nucleotides in a row which codes for an amino acid  
🗑
Mutation   change in a DNA nitrogen base sequence; may be harmful to an organism or may be beneficial for variation of an organism  
🗑
Deletion Mutation   DNA nitrogen base is lost or deleted; may cause a frameshift mutation  
🗑
Insertion Mutation   DNA nitrogen base is added; may cause a frameshift mutation  
🗑
Substitution Mutation   DNA nitrogen base is replaced by a different nitrogen base  
🗑
Nucleotide   individual unit of a nucleic acid; contains a nitrogen base, phosphate, and a sugar  
🗑
Transcription   cellular process which makes mRNA from the DNA code to create proteins  
🗑
Translation   uses the genetic code transcribed by mRNA to place amino acids into a specific sequence to make a protein  
🗑
Frameshift Mutation   change in nitrogen base sequence which cause a change codon arrangement; alters amino acid sequence from point of mutation and after  
🗑
Codon Chart   Square or circular chart of amino acids associated with a mRNA codon  
🗑
Helicase   Enzyme which breaks the hydrogen bonds between DNA nitrogen bases  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
