|
what is a poypeptide
|
a long chain of amino acids that will make a protien
|
|
|
what is a codon
|
a group of 3 nucleotides (bases) that make up the code for a specific amino acid
|
|
|
What is Translation
|
It is the process arranging the amino acids in the proper order to make protiens in protien synthesis
|
|
|
what is a protien molecule
|
it is an organic compound made up of amino acids
|
|
|
what is a hydrogen bond
|
it is the "Glue" that holds the bases together
|
|
|
What is a nucleotide
|
it is a phosphate ,a sugar and a base that forms the outside of the "ladder" in DNA
|
|
|
What is a complementary pare
|
it is 2 bases that always match up and work together
|
|
|
DNA Replication
|
enzymes break the hydrogen bond that holds the bases together so that the double helix breaks apart and each half of the exposed bases match up with "free" ones that are floating in the neucloplasm
|
|
|
nucleoloplasm
|
The cytoplasm of the nucleus
|
|
|
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
|
This is the chemical that breaks the Hydrogen bond between the complimentary bases and provides the energy needed for DNA replication
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
"Reads" the MRNA and is where protien synthesis takes place
|
|
|
where are ribosomes
|
they are located in the endoplamic reticulum and floating in the cytoplasm
|
|
|
Which are the purine bases
|
Adnine and Guanine
|
|
|
What are the pyrimidine bases
|
Thymine and Cytosine
|
