GENBIO 4TH Flashcards
the basic framework of the gene flow from the DNA to making of proteins
Central Dogma
the building blocks of protein
Amino Acid
another term for a chain of amino acids
Polypeptide
The duplication of DNA
Replication
Making of RNA strand from DNA strands
Transcription
Information in the RNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids
Translation
contains the information for the encoding of proteins
Messenger RNA
carries amino acids needed to make proteins
Transfer RNA
found in ribosomes, aids in manufacturing proteins
Ribosomal RNA
He was the first to accurately measure nucleotide amounts in DNA
Erwin Chargaff
a protein that unwinds the double helix or breaks apart the hydrogen bonds
Helicase
an enzyme that attaches to each strand and assembles a foundation at which replication can begin
Primase
assembles a new DNA strand on top of the existing one
DNA Polymerase
results in the production of two complementary strands of DNA
Complementary base pairing
a complementary sequence in the new strand
Anti-sequence
