Intro to genetics RNA Transcription Translation Replication
100
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
What does DNA stand for
100
What is ribose
the sugar found in the RNA backbone
100
What is the nucleus
In animal cells, transcription occurs here
100
What is the cytoplasm/ribosome
In the animal cell, where translation occurs
100
What is helicase
The enzyme that is responsible for unzipping the DNA strand
200
What is thymine
The nucleotide that adenine binds with
200
what is transfer RNA
a type of RNA that attaches amino acids to the peptide strand after reading a codon
200
What is mRNA (the transcript)
Transcription is the process of producing this from creating compliments to the DNA strand
200
What is a ribosome/rough ER
Translation occurs at this organelle
200
What is DNA polymerase
The protein that is responsible for creating compliments for each of the DNA strands
300
What is a double helix
The structure of DNA is described as this structure
300
What is messenger RNA
a type of RNA that is produced after DNA is transcribed
300
What is the template strand
mRNA is produced by making a compliment of this strand
300
What is the anticodon
The compliment to the three bases presented on the mRNA strand
300
What are okazaki fragments
The fragments that are added to the lagging strand of DNA
400
What is uracil
The nucleotide that is substituted for thymine in RNA
400
What is ribosomal RNA
a type of RNA that makes up the machinery that produces proteins in the cell
400
What is a poly-a tail
The type of tail that is added to an mRNA stand before is can exit the nucleus
400
What are amino acids
The single units that are added to a chain to produce a protein
400
What is ligase
The final enzyme involved in replication; the glue
500
What are three hydrogen bonds?
The number of hydrogen bonds between C and G
500
What is RNA polymerase
The protein that synthesizes mRNA
500
What is a promoter sequence
A sequence of DNA that signals RNA polymerase to bin
500
A start codon
The reading frame is important and is established by what?
500
What are binding proteins
Specialized proteins that prevent the separated DNA strands from coming back together
