Unit 10 Test (genetics) Flashcards
this molecule is single stranded
RNA
what are three part of every nucleotide
5 carbon sugar
nitrogenous base
phosphate group
DNA included the nucleotides: adenine guanine…
cytosine and thymine
what does chargaffs rule state
c=G
u=a=T
what is a group of three nucleotides that code for an amino acid
codon
how many different amino acids are there in tliving thibgs
20
replicate this strand AATGCATGC
TTACGTACG
this type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome
tRNA
this type of RNA had the instructions for making a protein
mRNA
process which copies one strand of DNA to RNA
transcription
process using mRNA tRNA and rRNA to make proteins
translation
what is RNA polymerase
enzyme that unzips the DNA helix
these get removed from the mRNA bc they are not used in protein coding
introns
where is the recipe written in the cell
nucleus
translation occurs where?
on a ribosome
the start codon
AUG
the end codons
UAA
UAG
UGA
the point of translation is to
make a proteins
this nucleotide is only found in RNA
uracil
what bond are nucleotides bonded with
hydrogen base
what is it called when and organism has more than one set of chromosomes ?
polyploidy
what holds all of your genetic material?
DNA
