Unit 2 molecular view of bologogy Flashcards
1
Q
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
A
An organic compound made of sub units called nucleotide that stores genetic information needed to make proteins.
stable
2
Q
RNA (ribonucleic acid)
A
-an organic compound made of sub units called nucleotides to store and transfer the genetic information needed to make proteins. (not stable)
-provides informations for the sequence of amino acids.
3
Q
Protein
A
an organic compound with sub units called amino acids that…
4
Q
kinds of amino acids
A
20 kinds of amino acids
5
Q
2
A
The information for traits is passed (given) in DNA, but trait is developed/expressed through proteins.
6
Q
3
A
The job of a protein is dictated by its shape.
7
Q
Steps to protein folding
A
- info from the gene on the DNA is carried by RNA to a cell structure called rybosome
- 2.Robosome has 2 jobs: reads RNA and links together amino acids
- as the amino acids chain leaves ribosome, it imediately folds into a 3-d protein.
