|
what are nucleic acids
|
an acid of high molecular weight, e.g. DNA or RNA,
|
|
|
what do nucleic acids consist of
|
consisting of nucleotide chains
|
|
|
what do nucleic acids convey
|
that convey genetic information
|
|
|
what is rna involved in
|
the synthesis of proteins
|
|
|
which is a double stranded molecule
|
dna
|
|
|
which is a single stranded molecule
|
rna
|
|
|
who is responsible for storing and transfeeing gentetic information
|
dna
|
|
|
who directly codes for amino acids
|
rna
|
|
|
who does rna act as a messenger in between
|
dna and ribosome
|
|
|
dna bases
|
adenine thymine cytosine and guanine
|
|
|
what are the bases for rna
|
adenine URACIL CYTOSINE AND GUANINE
|
|
|
who contains uracil instead of thymine
|
rna
|
|
|
adenine pairs with what in dna
|
thymine
|
|
|
adenine pairs with what in rna
|
uracil
|
|
|
where can rna be found
|
nucleus and cytoplasm
|
|
|
where is dna found
|
nucleus
|
|
|
which is involved in protein synthesis
|
rna
|
|
|
why is rna also found in the cytoplasm
|
so the dna can stay safe and doesn't have to leave the nucleus
|
|
|
a series of three adjacent bases in one polynucleotide chain of a DNA or RNA molecule, which codes for a specific amino acid.
|
codon
|
|
|
what is an anti codon
|
the line that goes on the codon. the opposite base pairs
|
|
|
where is the anticodon located
|
at one end of transfer rna
|
|
|
what is transcription
|
the process by which dna is copied
|
|
|
what is dna copied to in transcription
|
mRNA
|
|
|
what does mRNA do in transcription for what process
|
carries information needed for protein synthesis
|
|
|
where does transcription occur
|
inside the nucleus
|
|
|
what is after transcription
|
translation
|
|
|
where does translation occur and with what organelle
|
outside in the cytoplasm to the ribosome
|
|
|
who is directly involved with protein synthesis
|
ribosomes and transfer rna- messenger rna is just that the messenger who takes it out of the nucleus
|
|
|
who puts together the codon and anticodon
|
transfer RNA
|
|
|
who gives the message to transfer RNA on the anticodon
|
mRNA
|
|
|
but before all this, what step occurs first
|
DNA REPLICATION!
