DNA
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
RNA
ribonucleic Acid
karyotype
shows in humans 23 pairs of each homologous chromosome
sides of DNA ladder are made up of…
Phosphate and deoxyribose sugar
Guanine goes with…
Cytosine
Thymine goes with…
Adenine
When creating a messenger RNA, Adenine must be paired with…
Uracil
which necleotides are single ringed?
CaT(cytosine and Thymine)
What are the rungs of the ladder held together by?
Hydrogen bonds
DNA is…
double stranded
RNA is…
Single stranded
DNA contains which sugar
deoxyribose sugar
RNA contains which sugar
Ribose sugar
DNA is located in
the nucleus
DNA replicates in
the S phase of interphase (S stands for SYNTHESIS)
When DNA unravels to form mRNA, this is called
transcription
RNA ladder is made of
phosphate and ribose sugar
rRNA
ribosomal RNA, made in the nucleolus, works in the cytoplasm (turns mRNA to a protein)
mRNA
messenger RNA, made in the nucleus, works in the cytoplasm, carries recipe from DNA to rRNA
tRNA
Transfer RNA, in cytoplasm, brings amino acids to ribosome/rRNa
Replication
Process of making DNA from DNA in the nucleus
Transcription
process of making mRNA from DNA in the nucleus
Translation
process of making protein from mRNA in the cytoplasm
what molecule binds to the start of a DNA recipe
RNA polymerase
