(34 cards)
code of life
DNA
code for protein
DNA
make up of DNA
one sugar
one phosphate group
4 bases
held together by covalent bonds
phosphate and deoxyribose groups
bases and deoxyribose
held together by hydrogen bond
4 bases
semiconservative model
- 2 dna strands separate
- each strand is matched using base pairing
- new dna helix had 1 old strand with one new strand
bubbles
origins of replication
bubbles are opened up by _____ in the DNA
enzymes
enzymes add ______ to fuse the bubbles
nucleotides
break hydrogen bonds between nucleotides
helicase
adheres 2 pieces of DNA for lagging strand
ligase
DNA-> mRNA in nucleus by RNA polymerase
transcription
mRNA-> polypeptide chains at ribosome
translation
strings of animo acids
polypeptide chains
building blocks of proteins
amino acids
code for proteins
mRNA
bring amino acids to ribosome
tRNA
make up 2 subunits of ribosomes
rRNA
3 steps of transcription
- initiation
- elongation
- termination
RNA polymerase binds to promoter
initiation
determines with DNA strand is used and where gene code begins
promoter
1 RNA nucleotide is matched to RNA as strand grows
Elongation
RNA polymerase reaches the terminator
termination
ends the gene signal and RNA polymerase detaches
terminator
