25
What r the rungs attached to???
Each other | Deoxyribose sugar
26
Helicase
Unwinds the DNA strand
27
mRNA
Messenger from nucleus to ribosomes
28
rRNA
Makes up ribosomes with proteins
29
tRNA
Moves amino acids transfer into ribosomes
30
How does info from DNA get to cytoplasm??
mRNA
31
Ligase
(Like glue 😜) | Sticks the 2 strands together
32
Which pass does cell replication occur??
Interphase (S phase)
33
Semi-conservative replication
2 copies of DNA half old half new
34
Before replication takes place
2 strands of DNA must separate
35
Virulent
Causes disease
36
A mutation is
A change in the nucleotide sequence
37
Why does replication occur so quickly in eukaryotes???
Occurs simultaneously
38
Codon
Sequence of 3 mRNA nucleotides
39
Translation
Nucleotides forming q genetic code
40
A protein is a polymer consisting of a specific sequence of
Amino acids
41
During translation, one end of a tRNA molecule pairs with a complementary
mRNA
42
In eukaryotic cells, RNA is copied from DNA in the
Nucleus
43
Transcriptions purpose
To create a single stranded RNA molecule
44
What is translation
Process of changing the information from an order of nitrogen bases mRNA into amino acids
45
Where does transcription take place??
Nucleus -> DNA is only found in the nucleus and can't get out of it
46
Point mutation
Chance 1 amino acid -isn't always bad
47
Frameshift mutation
- addition or deletion of s base | - more dangerous
48
Inversion mutation
DNA sequence is flipped
49
Translocation mutation
Sequence breaks off and and reinserted somewhere else
50
Beetle and Tatum
Connections between enzymes and genes
51
Hershey and Chase
-bacteria carries instructions to replicate oh ages in bacteria
52
Watson and Crick
Completly sure DNA structure looks like
53
Wobble hypothesis _____ codons ______ amino acids
64 codons | 20 amino acids
54
Purpose of DNA
Provides - genetic instructions - long term storage of info
55
Purpose of RNA
Associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes
56
The smooth strain in griffiths experiment is _____
Virulent
57
Rough strain of griffiths experiment _____
Nonvirulent
58
Replication
Synthesis of an identical copy of a DNA strand
59
Transcription
Synthesis of mRNA molecule
60
Translation
Synthesis of polypeptide from amino acids
61
Codon
Base triplet on mRNA
62
Anticodon
Complementary triplet on tRNA
63
