central dogma of dna

Question 1

what is the central dogma of dna

Answer 1

DNA codes for RNA which codes for protein

Question 2

What processes are involved in protein synthesis

Answer 2

Transcription and translation

Question 3

What is transcription?

Answer 3

Takes place in the nucleus
mRNA is created by reading the DNA

Question 4

What is translation?

Answer 4

mRNA leaves the nucleus
is read to create a sequence of amino acids which fold to turn into a protein

Question 5

DNA info dump

Answer 5

stands for deoxyribose nucleic acid
contains genetic info about every living organism
found in nucleus in eukaryotes, and in the organelles, mitochondria and in chloroplasts
in prokaryotes, it’s not in a membranous envelope

Question 6

rna info dump

Answer 6

involved in protein synthesis
mrna leaves the nucleus since dna never leaves
mrna is used as a messenger to communicate with the rest of the cell (so it needs to be able to leave)

Question 7

what is dna and rna made of

Answer 7

made up of monomers of nucleotides which bond together to form polynucleotides
polynucleotide made of:
-sugar
-phosphate group
-nitrogenous base
-pentose (5 carbon chain)
