Nucleic acids Flashcards
1
Q
Pyrimidines (2x h bonds)
A
longer name= shorter nuke acid = T,U,C
2
Q
Purines (3x h bonds)
A
shorter name= longer nuke acid = A,G
3
Q
Ribose
A
5 membered ring, gives further possible bonding structures
4
Q
Deoxyribose
A
5 membered ring, deoxygenated at the 2 position
5
Q
Replication
A
helicase splits in to 2 strands
monomers for DNA added for DNA Polymerase
6
Q
Transcription
A
Transcription factors signal to RNA polymerase where to be
produces mRNA –> codes specific proteins
7
Q
Translation
A
in the ribosomes between the subunits
mRNA in, DNA out
tRNA brings codons in to build correct chain of AA
8
Q
Subunit roles
A
large unit links AA
small unit reads RNA
