Teams Games Tornament DNA Protein Synthesis Flashcards
_for diabetic patients can be synthesized by bacteria that have undergone recombinant DNA processes
Insulin
The final phase of translation where the amino acid chain is released from the ribosome
Termination
A gene mutation where a nucleotide is removed from a gene
Deletion
_bonds form between the nitrogenous bases in the DNA molecule
Hydrogen
Unlike DNA, RNA is a _ stranded molecule
Single
The process of creating an mRNA strand from a DNA molecule
Transcription
The shape of the DNA molecule (two words)
Double helix
Something that can get DNA from one species into the cells of another (eg. a virus)
Vector
Any factor which causes a mutation is called a _
Mutagen
A gene mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by a different nucleotide
Substitution
DNA and RNA are both types of _ (two words)
Nucleic acids
If a DNA strand read GATGGCTCA, the complimentary DNA strand would read
CTACCGAGT
This type of RNA is used in the ribosome during protein synthesis
rRNA
The process of DNA making copies of itself
Replication
The first phase of translation where the mRNA and first tRNA join up with the small ribosomal subunit is called
Initiation
DNA is found in the _ of eukaryotic cells
Nucleus
Many ribosomes can be translating a single mRNA strand at the same time. This unit is called a_
Polysome/poly ribosome
The enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing strand during transcription
RNA polymerase
Nitrogenous base with a double ring structure
Purine
Proteins that associate with DNA to form chromosomes
Histones
The enzyme that “unzips” the DNA strand during replication
Helicase
A DNA subunit made up of three components
Nucleotide
The three letter sequence on tRNA that is complementary to an mRNA codon
Anticodon
