Proteins and DNA Flashcards
(40 cards)
mRNA
a single stranded transcripted DNA which carries a sequence of codons for the production of protiens.
Nucleotides
monomers that make up DNA or RNA
DNA is composed of….
Deoxyribose, phosphate, nitrogen base
adenine and guanine are
purines
cytosine and thymine
pyrimidine
what are the complementary base pairings
adnine bonds with thymine, cytosine bonds with guanine
type of bond between bases
hydrogen bonds
semi-conservatve
dna replication uses one new strand and one old strand to form each new molecule
sugar in RNA
Ribose
Sugar in DNA
Dexoyribose
exons
sequence of bases of DNA that are translated and transcribed during the making of proteins
DNA nucleotide
consists of Phosphate, sugar, base
Direction DNA replication occurs in
5’>3’
enzyme unwinding the DNA strand in DNA replecation
Helicase
Enzyme responsible for filling the nicks after DNA replication.
DNA Ligase
DNA Polymerase III
Adds nucleotides in 5’–>3’ direction on one strand, on the other starts replication next to RNA primer and adds nucleotides in a 5’–>3’ direction
DNA Polymerase I
replaces RNA Premiers with DNA
RNA Primase
acts as a primer by adding short length of RNA to the template strand
OKAZAKI Fragements
short lengths of DNA formed between RNA primers
Nucleosomes
globular structure containing eight histone proteins with DNA wrapped around another histone that bonds the structure together
Stalite DNA
repetitive base sequences which are not translated
introns
sequence of bases transcribed but not translated
DNA Replecation
copying DNA to produce new molecules with the same base sequence
transcription
making mRNA that can leave the nucleus
