Describe Model Process and of Transcription Flashcards
Central Dogma of Biology
A theory states that genetic information flows only in one direction, from DNA to RNA, to protein, or RNA directly to protein.
Statements of DNA and RNA put in the right location
DNA: Double helix, Thymine (T), and deoxyribose
RNA: Single strand, Uracil (U), and robose
Both: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C)
Types of RNA
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
mRNA job, location, and what the first letter stands for
The Messenger
Located in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and ribosome
Job: Brings a message of DNA to the ribosome
tRNA job, location, and what the first letter stands for
Transfer
Located in the cytoplasm
Job: Amino acids go to the ribosome
rRNA job, location, and what the first letter stands for
Ribosomal
Located in ribosome
Makes up ribosomes
