Dna

Front 1

Replication

Back 1

Process by which one helix of DNA gives rise to two identical helices.

Front 2

Semi-conservative; Example

Back 2

Each new helix is composed of one parent strand and one daughter strand; DNA

Front 3

Transcription

Back 3

First step in transforming DNA into a protein.

Front 4

RNA contains

Back 4

Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

Front 5

What are the three types of RNA? What are their functions?

Back 5

1.) Messenger RNA- Blueprint for constructing protein
2.) Transfer RNA- carries amino acids around in the cytoplasm
3.) Ribosomal RNA- forms ribosomes where protein synthesis occurs

Front 6

Translation:

Back 6

Process by which the message that contains mRNA is translated into strand of amino acid.

Front 7

Techniques that involve analysis of DNA

Back 7

1) Restriction Enzymes
2) Agarose gel

Front 8

Restriction Enzymes; Example

Back 8

Cut DNA into small pieces, other RE's cut even larger pieces; Example: Eco Ri: cuts DNA into 750,000 fragments

Front 9

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms

Back 9

Pattern of number and fragment size.

Front 10

What is the process of Restriction Length Polymorphisms?

Back 10

First, they are visualized through agarose gel electrophoresis, DNA is cut into small pieces and is placed in agarose gel and then subjected to electrical current. The negatively charged DNA move towards positive electrode.

Front 11

Polymerase Chain Reaction

Back 11

Small amounts of DNA that can be amplified for analysis.
