Chapter 14,15,17,19 Flashcards
Nucleotide have phosphate attached at the ____ carbon atom of the sugar
5’
The synthesis of the growing chain of DNA is carried out by adding nucleotide to the ___ end.
3’
DNA consist of two antiparallel strands of nucleotide chains whose bases are held together by
hydrogen bonds
The chemical bond connecting one nucleotide with the next one along with nucleic acid chains is called
phosphodiester bond
The enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of new DNA molecules is called
DNA polymerase.
As the two strands of DNA are unraveled, the _______enzyme relieves the strain on the two strand.
DNA gyrase
Components of nucleotides
Organic nitrogen bases
Sugar
Phosphate
the pairing of nitrogen bases is A pairs with T and G pairs with C
Chargaff’s rules
If A is 14% the what the rest ?
14% - T
C-36%
G-36%

a ribosome assembles a polypeptide, whose amino acids sequence is specified by the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA
translation
Amino acids are transported to the ribosomes for use in building the polypeptide by
tRNA
number of bases need for a codon

In eukaryotes, the empty tRNA molecules exit the ribosomes from the
E site.
