|
Process of Replication
|
Copying DNA to make 2 DNA copies. Occurs before cell reproduction. The original DNA then splits into single strands and each act as a template for the next strand.
|
|
|
What is a DNA polymerase and it's function?
|
it is an enzyme, it unzips the copied DNA Molecule, opens and controls copy of DNA.
|
|
|
Process of Transcription
|
Transcription is the process of creating a complementary RNA copy of a sequence of DNA. Replacing Thymine with Uracil.
|
|
|
What are DNA and RNA made out of?
|
They are Nucleic Acids (Hence the NA.) They are made from Nucleotides which are the building blocks of Nucleic Acids.
|
|
|
Four Nitrogenous bases of DNA
|
Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Thymine.
|
|
|
Four Nitrogenous bases of
|
Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Uracil.

|
What is the section of DNA which codes for a protein?
|
Gene.
|
|
|
Types of RNA?
|
Messenger MRNA - Carries information to Ribosome, encodes chemical blue print for a protein product.
Transfer TRNA - Carries amino acids. 73-93 nucleotides in length. Ribosomal RRNA - is the RNA component of the ribosome, the enzyme that is the site of protein synthesis in all living cells. |
