Chapter 10 Flashcards
DNA
Is 2 strands
RNA
Is 1 strand
DNA is used to store
Genetic data
RNA is used to
Replicate specific genes
One type of
DNA
3 types of rna
- MRNA- messenger
- TRNA- transfer
- RRNA- ribosono
Mitosis
Repair stuff, children growing
Meiosis
Reproduction
Genotype
Genetic make up of DNA
The ATCG
Phenotype
The outward expression of the tree like ears shape of knows how tall you are.
Transcription
Info from DNA to rna, exact replica (copy) like a cookbook. You
Occurs in nucleus
Translation
Info from rna to protein
mRNA goes into cytoplasm for translation
Codon
Each Code of three on mrna. 1 amino acid
Anticodon
Found on the bottom of tRNA
Must match codon on mRNA
Mutation
Errors in DNA replication they also may occur due to physical or chemical agents called mutagens
All mutations aren’t bad
Some make you stay
They contributors the process of evolution by natural selection
