Dna contains instructions for what

Proteins

What are chromosomes made up of

DNA

The backbone of DNA is made of three parts

Sugar, Phosphate group, nitrogenous bases

The shape of a DNA molecule is called

Double helix

What are the names of the four different bases found in DNA

Adenine, guanine, cytosine, Thymine

What are the names of the four different bases found in rna

Adenine guanine cytosine and uracil

Some bases have a one-ring structure these are referred as

Pyrimidines

Some bases have two ring structures these are referred to

Purines

Which nucleotides have a two ring structure

Adenine and guanine

Which nucleotides have a one ring structure

Thymine and cytosine

What kind of bonds are formed between the bases of DNA

Hydrogen bonds

What is the definition of DNA replication

The process by which DNA serves as a template to guide reproduction copies of the other

What is the enzyme that is responsible for DNA replication

DNA polymerase

What happens in transcription

DNA information is transferred to RNA

What is the enzyme involved in transcription

RNA polymerase

What are the three types of RNA called

MRNA tRNA rRNA

MRNA has information in three nucleotide sequence called

Codons

In translation RNA is coded for

Amino acids

Where does translation take place

Ribosome

What kind of bonds are formed between amino acids

Peptide bond

What molecules make up the backbone of a DNA molecule

Sugar-phosphate

What molecules make up the rungs of a DNA molecule

Nitrogenous base molecules

How are nucleotides join together

By one covalent bonds between sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next

In what process is DNA being copied

DNA replication and occurs during the S phase of mitosis and meiosis

What is the same between a DNA nucleotide and an RNA nucleotides

Guanine adenine and cytosine

What is different between a DNA nucleotide and an rna nucleotide

DNA thymine RNA uracil

RNA contains the sugar—-why DNA contains the sugar—-

Ribose deoxyribose

What was Watson’s and cricks conclusion on the structure of DNA

DNA consist of 2 strands of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules that coiled into a double helix

What does DNA polymerase do in the DNA replication process

It catalyzes the formation of new strands from individual nucleotides by using parent strands as templates

Semi conservative replication

DNA synthesis yielding new double helices each consisting of one parental and one progeny strand

How does the process of transcription different from the process of DNA replication

Produces one single stranded molecule


RNA polymerase adds the RNA nucleotides one at a time


small part of the entire DNA molecule is a template for the RNA

How does RNA polymerase know where to begin the transcription

Specific start nucleotide

Introns

Nucleotide sequence that must be removed from the RNA as it moves into the cytoplasm

Exons

RNA in a molecule that remains in the RNA as it moves into the cytoplasm

Genetic words

Words written in a four nucleotide alphabet and is used by mRNA to code for the sequence of amino acids

Codon

Base triplets in mRNA

Anti-codon

Base triplet that is complementary to the mRNA codon

Translation

Transfer of the information from RNA to a protein

Transscription

Transfer of genetic information from DNA into an RNA molecule

Phenotype

Physical traits

Genotype

The sequence of nucleotide bases in its DNA

Interactions between the TRNA and mRNA take place where

Cytoplasm at the ribosome

Translation proceeds in three stages what are they

Initiation elongation and termination

Initiation

Attachment of RNA polymerase to the promoter and the start of RNA synthesis

Promoter

Dictates which of the two DNA strands is to be transcribed

Elongation

RNA strand peels away from The DNA template allowing for the two separated DNA strands to come back together

Termination

polymerase molecule detaches from the RNA molecule and the gene in the DNA strands rejoin

Mutation

Permanent alteration in a DNA sequence

Framshift mutation

Genetic mutation that either inserts or deletes a series of nucleotides
