Unwinds DNA-pulls 2 strands apart by breaking hydrogen bonds between A and T and C and G
What is the #2 enzyme for DNA replication called, and what does it do?
Toplosomerase (Gyrase)

Prevents overwinding

Makes DNA not spin, stopping adjacent DNA areas from becoming knotted up

Phosphate group
Which group is largely related to the 3 prime end?
Hydroxide group
T
Thymine

5...................3
In what direction does the lagging strand make DNA in?
3...........5
What does DNA polymerase 2 do?
Proofreading,
Corrects mistakes
What is messenger Rna called?
Codon
What is transfer Rna called?
Anticodon

Ribosomal RNA
What is the composition and direction of the primer?

3'ATGGTS'
5'UACCA3'
Because there is no T in RNA, this letter becomes what?
U
In which model of DNA are there a mix of both old and new DNA on the same strand?
Dispersive
In which model of DNA are there both one old strand, and one new strand?
Semi-Conservative
The process of copying a sequence of DNA to produce a complementary strand of RNA.
Transcription
The process that converts an mRNA message into a polypeptide.
Translation
In bacteria and viruses, ___________ + ___________ happen simultaneously.
Transcription and Translation
What are the steps of transcription?
Dna is becoming mrna.
1) Rna Polymerase binds to a promoter region (TATA box)
2) Double helix unwinds
3) Rna polymerase begins synthesis by adding nucleotides
4) Termination-synthesis stops, rna released
What is the process of turning mrna into protein called?
Translation
Coded regions of DNA
Exons
Non coded regions of DNA
Introns
Removing introns so the exons slide together
RNA splicing
What are the steps in translation?
Mrna........Protein
On a ribosome in cytoplasm
2 ribosome subunits
What does the E site in translation do?
Amino Acids Exit
What does the P site in translation do?
The first Amino Acid goes, holds polypeptide chain
What does the A site in translation do?
All the amino acids that did not enter the P site enter.
This is when you hit a stop codon (structure disassembles, and releases protein)
Termination
What is the name for the Dna strand from which the rna will be made?
template strand or coding strand
This is when there is no effect, and the amino acid still codes.
Silent mutation
This is where you start transcription, Rna polymerase will sit on DNA and make messenger Rna
Tata box
