Proteins And DNA Flashcards
What is a nucleotide made up off
A base , phosphate and deoxyribose sugar
What does adenine bond to in DNA
Thymine
What does cytosine bond to in DNA
Guanine
What does adenine bond to in protein synthesis
Uracil
What are the differences between RNA and DNA
RNA is single stranded and DNA is double stranded, DNA uses deoxyribose sugars and RNA uses ribose sugars
Where is MRNA formed and what is the process that takes place to form it
The nucleus and transcription
MRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches itself to what
ribosomes
What is the role of TRNA
Found In the cytoplasm they attach their self to a specific amino acid with its 3 bases (anticodon) and tRNA aligns with its complimentary mRNA codon aligns with its second anticodon and becomes linked by peptide bonds, mRNA moves along the ribosome and amino acid chains are formed and become a protein molecule
Proteins are secreted by what in the cell
The Golgi apparatus
