Question | Answer |
Anticodon | 3 nitrogen bases one end of a tRNA molecule that carries amino acids. |
Codon – | 3 nitrogen base sequence for mRNA that codes an amino acid |
Complementary base pairing – | cytosine, uracil, adenine, guanine, and thymine |
DNA | a nucleic acid which stores the genetic information |
Gene | A discrete unit of hereditary information that codes for a trait |
mRNA – | made from DNA in the nucleus that codes for an amino acid |
nitrogenous base | An organic base that contains the element nitrogen found in DNA/RNA |
nucleotide | The building block of a nucleic acid, consisting of a five |
peptide bonds – | joins amino acids together to form a protein |
transcription | The synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template |
translation | The synthesis of a polypeptide using the genetic information encoded in an mRNA molecule. There is a change of "language" from nucleotides to amino acids. |
tRNA | functions as an interpreter between nucleic acid and protein language by picking up specific amino acids and recognizing the appropriate codons in the mRNA. |
differentiation | The structural and functional divergence of cells as they become specialized during their development; dependent on the control of gene expression. |
gene regulation | the various systems that control and determine which genes are switched on and off, and when, how long, and to what extent the genes are expressed. |
