chapter 14 Flashcards
mutations that shift “reading frame”
frameshift mutation
gene mutation in which single base pair in DNA has been changed
point mutation
change in the genetic material of the cell
mutations
group of 3 bases on a RNA molecule that are complementary to the little 3 bases of codon = rna
anticodon
proteins by which the sequences of bases of an RNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of protein.
translation
group of 3 nucleotides bases in RNA that specify a particular amino acids to be incorporated
codon
enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription using a DNA strands as a template
RNA polymerase
synthesis of an RNA molecule from DNA template
transcription
type of RNA that carries each amino acids to a ribosome during protein synthesis
transfer rna
type of RNA that combines with protein to form ribosomes
ribosomal RNA
type of RNA that carries copies of amino acids into proteins from DNA to the rest of the cell
messenger RNA
single-stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose
RNA
