It can be named like a “blueprint” or a “recipe” of living things
DNA
These are the BUILDING BLOCKS of LIFE, and also conform the proteins
Amino Acids
The ____ tells ____________ how they should arrange and be organized
DNA
Amino Acids
In ____, ______________ DISCOVERED the shape of the DNA
1952, Rosalind Franklin
In 1953, __________ and ________ PUBLISHED the shape of DNA
J. Watson and F. Crick
It UNIFIES the BASES in the nuecleotide
Hydrogen Bond
In DNA replication, the ________ separates the DNA
Helicase
They are the basic unit of heredity, and they are segments of DNA that code for the amino acid sequence
Gene
Mention the 3 types of RNA:
Messenger RNA
Ribosomal RNA
Transfer RNA
What are the 2 steps of GENE EXPRESSION?
Transciption
Translation
Step of gene expression in which the DNA is separated for the RNA to copy the information of the DNA
Transcription
Step of gene expression in which the RNA travels to a ribosome to combine with an anticodon to make proteins
Translation
What is called each 3 nucleotides unit of a mRNA molecule?
Codon
How many possible different codons can be made?
64
(TRUE or FALSE) During the process of transciption a molecule of mRNA is formed
TRUE
