Q

Backbone of DNA

A

Phosphate and deoxyribose sugar

17
Q

Transcription

18
Q

Translation

A

mRNA -> protein

19
Q

Steps of translation

A

mRNA comes out of nuclear pore, attaches to ribosome, tRNA comes and attaches anticodons to mRNA and starts polypeptide chain

A

Helicase, polymerase, liase, topumerase, primase

22
Q

Helicase

23
Q

Liase

24
Q

Polymerase

A

Reads DNA and builds onto it

25
Topumerase
Prevents DNA from recoiling onto itself
26
Primase
Initializer
27
Mutations def
Change in DNA sequence
28
Point Mutation types
Substitution, silent, nonsense
29
Substitution mutation
One base substituted
30
Silent mutation
Base change but amino acid doesn’t change
31
Nonsense mutation
Random change to a stop
32
Frameshift mutation types
Addition, deletion
