DNA&RNA Flashcards
(36 cards)
process by which the instructions in the dna are converted into a functional product
Central Dogma
translate the Mrna codons to correct amino acids
Transfer RNA
binds mRna and Trna
Ribosomal RNA
transcribes the DNA nucleotide to Rna nucleotide
Messenger RNA
Four Nitrogenous Bases of the DNA
Adenine - Thymine (Purines)
Guanine - Cytosine (Purines)
Thymine - Adenine (Pyrimidines)
Cytosine - Guanine (Pyrimidines)
Four Nitrogenous Bases of the RNA
Adenine - Uracil
Guanine - Cytosine
Thymine - Adenine
Cytosine - Guanine
It is what binds the nitrogenous bases
Hydrogen bases
its the backbone of the DNA
Phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)
it is a molecule that contains the biological instruction that make each species unique, and it has a shape of a double helix
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
these are one-carbon nitrogen ring bases.
Pryimidines
these are two-carbon nitrogen ring
Purines
It helps in the synthesis of proteins in our body. This nucleic acid is responsible for the production of new cells in the human body. It is usually obtained from the DNA molecule.
Ribonucleic Acid
The complete DNA instruction book
Genome
How many chromosomes does a human have?
23 pairs
he is discoverer of the structure of DNA in 1958.
Francis Click
The process by which the DNA instructions are converted into the functional product
gene expression
three nucleotides in the mRNA molecule is called a;
Codon
its main job is to make the proteins that living things
need to grow.
DNA
its main job is to make the proteins that living things
need to grow.
DNA
It affects the sex cells of an organism by changing the sequence of nucleotides within a gene in a sperm or an egg cell.
Mutations
It is a permanent change in the DNA sequence
Gene Mutation
It occurs at the chromosome level resulting in gene deletion, duplication or rearrangement that may occur during the cell cycle and meiosis.
Chromosomal Mutation
one chromosome is swapped with another chromosome
one chromosome is swapped with another chromosome
loss of genetic material
Deletion
