Cards

Term
Replication
Definition
copying of DNA in preperaton for mitosis through complementary base pairing
Term
Translation
Definition
production of proteins from mRNA and tRNA
Term
Transcription
Definition
making of mRNA which carries the code of DNA out of the nucleus to the ribosomes
Term
Differences between DNA and RNA
Definition

DNA- Deoxyribose and 2 strands

RNA- ribose and 1 strand

Term
Protein Synthesis- Transcription
Definition

A=U

G=C

Term
Protein Synthesis- Translation
Definition
wheel
Term
Protein Synthesis- Replication
Definition

A=T

G=C

Term
Point Mutation
Definition
change in genetic code
Term
Deletion and effect on protein synthesis
Definition

base taken out of genetic code

changes every codan after that point and changes the amino acid chain

Term
Substitution and effect on protein synthesis
Definition

1 base pair is replaced by another

only 1 codon is affected, only 1 amino acid is affected

Term
Insertion and effect on protein synthesis
Definition

Extra base put in

changes every codon after that point, changes amino acid chain

Term
What is DNA? Genetic code for making proteins.
Definition

Deoxyribose

a=t

g=c

genetic code

Term

Protein Synthesis

 

Definition
using genetic code; translation interprets DNA code from transcribed RNA, putting amino acids together to form proteins
Term

Term
genus species classification
Definition

Underline or italicize genus and species

capitalize Genus name

Term
Classification of humans
Definition
