DNA, RNA, and PROTEIN SYNTHESIS Flashcards
What is the STRUCTURE FOR (DNA) and what are the FUNCTIONS of (DNA)?
Structure: DNA consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine, it is ALWAYS found in the nucleus. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose.
Functions:
What is the STRUCTURE FOR (RNA) and what are the FUNCTIONS of (RNA)?
Structure:
Functions:
How is (RNA) DIFFERENT FROM (DNA)?
(RNA) is DIFFERENT from (DNA), BECAUSE
RNA: a single helix, uses sugar ribose, and is a TEMPORARY COPY of (DNA) proceed by (TRANSCRIPTION)
DNA: a double helix, found in the nucleus, carries template for (MAKING PROTEINS) an a template for (TRANSCRIPTION ).

How does the PROCESS of (DNA)- (TRANSCRIPTION) work?

How does the PROCESS of (RNA)(TRANSLATION) work?
The mRN that has been (transported) to the CYTOPLASM is de-coded/ TRANSLATED to (produce) AMINO ACID in a PROTEIN

What CAUSES (GENE MUTATIONS)?
A (GENE MUTATION)- is a permeant alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. CAUSED by when a CHANGE in SEQUENCE is DIFFERENT from normal ones.
What is (GMO) and WHAT are the BENIFITS of using (GMO)?

Benifits of using it:
