DNA and the production of Proteins Flashcards
Chromosomes are made of
DNA
A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein is called a
Gene
The shape of DNA is described as a
Double Helix
Adenine always pairs with
Thymine
Cytosine always pairs with
Guanine
G-C and A-T are examples of
Complementary base pairs in DNA
Amino acids join together to make
Proteins
A different sequence of bases on DNA will produce
A different sequence on Amino acids in a protein
mRNA is involved in making
Proteins
mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the
Ribosome
DNA is always found in the
Nucleus
Proteins are made at
Ribosomes
The order of amino acids will determine the
Structure of Protein produced
The structure of a protein will determine its
Function
