Q

all cells from a fertilized egg have

A

identical DNA

16
Q

sudden change in the DNA of a chromosome can usually be passed on to future generations of the change occurs in a

A

Sex cell

17
Q

New in heritable characteristics would be at least likely to result from

A

mutations which occur in muscle cells and skin cells

18
Q

what is the function of messenger RNA molecules in the synthesis of proteins

A

they carry information that determines the sequence of amino acids

19
Q

functions of DNA

A

Controls functions of cell, contains instructions to make proteins

20
Q

nucleotides

A

DNA made of repeating subunits

21
Q

RNA messenger

A

A single strand, ribose sugar, doesn’t contain base thymine, contains base uracil, follows base pair rule (a-u)

22
Q

transcription

A

occurs in the nucleus of the cell

23
Q

how transcription works

A

A DNA strand separates and serves as a template for RNA assembly, free M RNA nucleotides match up to exposed nucleotides on DNA strand, M RNA strands leaves DNA strand when “stop codon” is reached. The M RNA strand carries code for production of one polypeptide

24
Q

M RNA carries instructions from

A

nucleus to ribosomes

25
Q

translation

A

occurs in cytoplasm of the cell, at the ribosome. RNA is turned into proteins (happens in ribosomes)
