Chapter 4 Flashcards
Oocyte sperm has ?
23 chromosomes
Is the instructions on how to assemble a protein one amino acid at a time
Gene
DNA replication performed by an enzyme
DNA polymerase
Process of copying dna strands
DNA replication
DNA replication happens in the ?
Nucleus
Process of synthesizing a protein from amino acids
Protein synthesis
Is a coil wrapped around each other
Double helix
Process rewriting dna into mRNA
Occurs in the nucleus
Performed by the enzyme rna polymerase
Transcription
What are the steps in DNA replication?
- DNA polymerase binds to and uncoils and unzips the strands
- DNA polymerase begin adding complementary bases to form new strand of DNA
- After a triplet is completed, DNA polymerase will shift down and copy the next triplet
- This repeats on both strands until each strand is replicated forming 2 identical copies of the original strand
A series of 3 bases of mRNA that codes for 1 amino acid
Codon
Transfers amino acids to ribosome during translation
tRNA
3 bases of tRNA that match a codon
Anti codon
Codons are assembled by using a series of bases on our DNA strand, The strand that is being read is called
Template strand
Is the assembly of the protein one amino acid at a time that occurs at ribosome as the ribosome reads the mRNA
Translation
The molecule that rewrites dna into a mRNA is called
RNA polymerase
strand that is being read by the mRNA is called
Template strand
Is the process of building proteins using the instructions of a gene
Protein synthesis
Protein synthesis involves two steps
Transcription
Translation
Is the study of tissues, tissue structure, and tissue function
Histology
Covers and lines internal and external surfaces of the body
Epithelium
Provide shape and support, store nutrients, protection
Connective tissue
Contracts (shorten) to move things
Muscle tissue
Carries info within the body in the form of an electrical impulse
Neural tissue
Covers and lines surfaces of the body, and line internal passageways and chambers
Is avascular, it lacks blood vessels so must obtain nutrients from other tissues or exposed surfaces
Epithelium tissues
