|
Is an essential macromolecule that is made up of nucleotides |
DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid |
|
|
Are made up of deoxyribose sugar a photosphate group, and a nitrogenous base |
Nucleotides |
|
|
Acts as the interpreter to the DNA in order to make the protein that is to be synthesized |
RNA or Ribonucleic acid |
|
|
This process in which the DNA is translated by the RNA to make proteins is what we called |
Protein synthesis |
|
|
The whole process in which the coded genetic information from the DNA is transcribe by the RNA is called |
Central Dogma |
|
|
It is made up of five carbon sugar |
Ribose |
|
|
The process of the copying of the DNA during mitosis |
Replication |
|
|
Gives the codes for the proteins that make up almost any part of your body |
Gene |
|
|
It is formed in the nucleoplasm with the use of a DNA template |
mRNA or messenger RNA |
|
|
Which is describe as clover shapped with three exposed bases |
tRNA or transfer RNA |
|
|
Is made in the nucleolus and forms important structural component of tha ribosome |
rRNA or ribsomal RNA |
|
|
Is the process in which the codes of the DNA are converted into the codes in the mRNA |
Transcriptiom |
|
|
3 stages of Transcription |
1. Initiation 2. Elongation 3. Termination |
|
|
The start of transcription is when the RNA polymerase binds to the DNA |
Initiation |
|
|
This refers to the process through which nucleotides are added to the growing RNA chain |
Elongation |
|
|
RNA polymerase continues to elongate until it reaches the termination |
Termination |
|
|
Occurs when the DNA sequence that makes up a gene is altered |
Gene mutation |
|
|
Inherited from parets as the present in the sperm cell and egg cell |
Hereditary mutation |
|
|
Are caused by failure of the DNA to replicate itself properly |
Somatic Mutation |
