Bio Flashcards
What is DNA?
DNA is instructions of life
Describe the experiment the proved DNA.
To prove DNA the put a non-lethal bacteria into a rat, rat lived.
Non-Lethal: Non deadly
Lethal- deadly
lethal has a capsule
What are the 4 nitrogen bases?
Adenine Guanine Thymine Cytosine (in RNA) Uracil
What is the structure of DNA?
4 nitrogen bases
describe a nucleotide
a group made of a base, sugar and a phosphate
why is the sequence of nucleotides important?
is the code that controls the product room of all proteins for an organism.
what is relocation and why do cells undergo this process?
Is the process of making an exact copy of DNA. This happens so that they can repair damages strands.
Process of replication
Chemical bonds connecting bases break apart. the DNA separates. matching a. ew nucleotide match with proper bases. the process continues until the strand has been copied
What is a template
a pattern
what powers the process
nucleotides
what are proteins and what are they used for?
proteins are long chains of amino acids and they are the messengers for the cell.
what is an enzyme?
Biological catalogs - makes chemical reactions in organisms go faster.
where are proteins made?
ribosomes, outside the nucleus
what is RNA why is it needed?
RNA has a ribose as its sugar, single helix, and bases are A&U and G&C
