Term
|
Definition
| A molecule made of nucleotides linked together. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One of the 3 nitrogen bases found in RNA, but is not in DNA, It replaces the T found in the DNA sequence,so the base pairings are now G-C and A-U |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process which instructions for making a protein are transferred from a gene to an RNA molecule. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process after transcription when cells then use two different types of RNA to read the instructions on the RNA molecule and put together the amino acids that make up the protein. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Or protein synthesis,the entire process by which proteins are made based on the information encoded in DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| DNA is TRANSCRIBED into RNA then RNA is TRANSLATED into Proteins |

|
Definition
| I am so proud of the hard work you are putting in, continue to work hard and you will find out how much you really are capable of. Love, Coach. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| All DNA contains three chemical components: A Phosphate, a sugar called Deoxyribose and four nitrogenous bases A-Adenine, G-Guanine, C-cytosine, and T-thymine. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The amount of Thymine always equals the amount of adenine, and the amount of Cytosine always equals the amount of Guanine, so T=A and G=C |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Used X-ray diffraction to discover that DNA was helical (spiral-like), it is long and skinny and the strands are parallel to each other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| discovered the double helix and that the two sugar phosphate backbones of DNA are anti-parallel 5'-3' to 3'-5' |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The point at which the two strands of DNA are seperated to allow the replication of each strand |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A RNA molecule transcribed from the DNA of a gene, a protein is transkated from this RNA molecule by the action of ribosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A complex organelle that catalyzes(speeds up) the the translation of the mRNA into an amino acid sequence, it is composed of proteins plus rRNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An enzyme that catalyzes(speeds up) the synthesis of an RNA strand from a DNA template. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An enzyme that can catalyze(speed up) the synthesis of new DNA strands from a DNA template |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The template strand (or noncoding strand), is used as a template for RNA synthesis |
|
|
Term
| What does a nucleotide consists of. |
|
Definition
| Sugar, a phoshate group and a nitrogen base |
|
|
Term
| what is one thing that Chargaff observe? |
|
Definition
| The amount of adenine in an organism always equaled to the amount of thymine. |
|
|
Term
| What was Wilkins and Franklin the first to do? |
|
Definition
| To suggest that the DNA molecule resembled a tightly coiled helix. |
|
|
Term
| What has the ability to to check for errors in nucleotide pairings. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| signifies either a specific amino acid or a signal to stop |
|
|
Term
| Is the genetic code different in nearly all organisms |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What does each species of organisms have unique for synthesis of its proteins. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Why do cells regulate so that each gene will be transcribed? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| RNA differs from DNA in that RNA.... |
|
Definition
| Is single stranded,contains a different sugar molecule and contains the nitrogen base uracil. |
|
