DNA RNA And Protein Flashcards
(27 cards)
DNA is composed of smaller subunits know as
Nucliotides
What does DNA stand for
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Tree parts of nucleotide
Deoxyribose, phosphate, base
Four hydrogen base in DNA
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
Single ring structures known as pyrimidines
Cytosine, and thymine
Double ring structures known as purines
Adenine, and guanine
Two scientist that discovered the structure of DNA molecule
Watson and creek
Twisted ladder shape DNA shape
Double helix
Two molecules that make the side portion of DNA
Phosphate and sugar
Molecule meets the middle
Base
Which hydrogen bases always pair with each other
A,T T,A C,G G,C A,U U,A
Chargaff’s rules these percentages go together
Adenine, thymine
Cytosine, guanine
Nitrogen bases are held together by
Hydrogen bond
Type of sugar found in DNA
Deoxyribose
Process in which DNA builds an exact duplicate of it self
DNA replication
Primary function of DNA
Code for proteins
Why is it important for DNA to replicate
So every cell has a copy
RNA stands for
Ribonucleic acid
RNA adenine always pairs with
Uracil
Three ways DNA is different from RNA
Single stranded
Ribose is sugar
Thymine is replaced with uracil
3 kinds do RNA
mRNA tRNA rRNA
Process of making RNA from DNA is called
Transcription
Proteins are made in the cytoplasm by cellular structures called
Ribosomes
Proteins are composed of smaller subunits called Of which there are
Amino acid 20
