Protein Synthesis and Gene Regulation Flashcards
what does each DNA make?
a specific protein
what is DNA?
genetic information
proteins are made using instructions from what?
DNA
what are chemical reactions in living organisms controlled by?
enzymes (proteins)
what are all living organisms built out of?
protiens
what is double stranded DNA or RNA?
DNA
what is made of deoxyribose sugar, nitrogen bases (A, C, G, T)
DNA
what is single stranded DNA or RNA?
RNA
what is made of ribose sugar, nitrogen bases (A, C, G, U)
RNA
U = _____
uracil
T = _____
thymine
what bases pair together?
A pairs with T, C pairs with G
do DNA and RNA have strong or weak bonds between bases
weak
what are proteins made of
ribosomes in the cytoplasm
What does DNA give its information to to carry out of the nucleus
mRNA
what transcription?
the process of making mRNA from DNA
what is DNA strand the template for?
mRNA
what is the enzyme used in transcription?
RNA polymerase
transcription is too big for DNA to go through what?
the nuclear envelopes
how is mRNA different from DNA?
mRNA is single-stranded and smaller than DNA
what does mRNA copie instructions to build from DNA?
proteins
what are proteins built using?
amino acids based on mRNA
what does the ribosomal RNA in the ribosomes read?
RNA
what leaves the nucleus through pores?
mRNA
what does the rRNA inside the ribosomes synthesize to make protein using instructions on mRNA?
amino acids
what does the transport RNA do?
carries the correct amino avid to the ribosome
what does mRNA carry?
the blueprints for making a specific protein
where does mRNA go?
ribosomes in the cytoplasm
