Differences between DNA and RNA
- DNA is double stranded RNA is single
- DNA has deoxyribose RNA has ribose
- DNA stays in nucleus, RNA goes in cytoplasm
DNA shape was discovered by…
Watson and Crick
The process of making new proteins is called
Protein Synthesis
In DNA, adenine always binds with Thymine
And Cytosine always binds with guanine.
The two sides of the DNA molecule are held together by weak…
hydrogen bonds
The universal start codon
AUG
Stop the protein chain
Nonsense Codons
Every three bases in mRNA is called a…
Codon
Why is DNA important?
Codes for the proteins that make us up
What is the central dogma of DNA?
DNA==> RNA==>Proteins
Helps to join the pieces and sides during replication
DNA ligase
Proteins are made in ribosomes and are made up of
Amino acids
The process of making exact copies of DNA is called
replication
The process of making a near copy of DNA called RNA is called…
transcription
A nucleotide consists of…
a sugar, a phosphate, and a base
If the DNA is ATG, the mRNA made from this would be…
UAC
If the mRNA is CUA, the tRNA would be…
GAU
Breaks the weak hydrogen bonds during DNA replication
Helicase
allows new nucleotides to attach to existing DNA
DNA polymerase
