Dna To Protein- Unit 1 Flashcards
The building blocks of all living things
Cells
Organelle in cells which controls the cell’s activities
Nucleus
Living being made of single or many cells
Organism
Strand of DNA which codes for a protein
Gene
Parts of the DNA structure which pair up with one another
Bases
Structures found in nucleus which carry genetic information
Chromosomes
A molecules which carries the blueprint for life
DNA
A chemical made of a long chain of amino acids
Protein
Small chemical units which make up a protein and are coded for by triplets of DNA
Amino acid
This molecule carries a copy of the genetic code to the ribosomes
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
This type of pairing holds the two DNA strands together
Complementary case pairing

Thymine
A base found on DNA which is represented by the letter G
Guanine
A base found on DNA which is represented by the letter C
Cytosine
