DNA Flashcards
(19 cards)
DNA
double stranded hereditary molecule direction for traits
units that make up DNA (sugar,base,phosphate)
nucleotide
5-carbon sugar in DNA
deoxyribose
A,T,C,G(in DNA) or A,U,C,G (in RNA)
nitrogen bases
molecules that make our traits and their functions
protein
5-carbon sugar in RNA
ribose
piece of DNA with directions for making one protein
gene
along with a sugar molecule, makes up the sides of DNA molecule
phosphate
four bases
adenine guanine
thymine cytosine
single stranded hereditary molecule
RNA
any unexpected changed in AND
Mutation
process of copping a sequence of DNA in to a complementary mRNA
transcription
decoding of an mRNA message in to a protein(in ribosome)
translation
three nucleotide sequences on mRNA that codes for a single amino acid
codon
RNA that carries each amino acid to the ribosome
tRNA
RNA that carries copies of instructions for genes
mRNA
process by which the body makes protein
protein synthesis
add or subtract a number of nucleotides
frameshift mutation
substitution of only one nucleotide base
point mutation
