The shape of DNA
Double Helix
What are the 3 jobs of DNA?
Storing, copying, and transmitting genetic information
The process of building mRNA from the DNA base code
Transcription
The process of building polypeptide chains (protein) from mRNA
Translation
DNA is transcribed into this
mRNA
Which is the correct sequence of the transfer of genetic information? Hint: the central idea
DNA --> RNA -- > Protein
This is the cell organelle where transcription occurs
Nucleus
This is the cell organelle where translation occurs
Ribosome
Any change in the genetic code
Mutation
Type of mutation where one base is replaced with another
Substitution
When an insertion or deletion of a DNA base occurs it leads to this type of mutation
frameshift
This is the type of RNA found as the sub-unit of the Ribosome
rRNA
This type of RNA carries codons
mRNA
In RNA Adenine (A) pairs with _________ .
Uracil (U)
Each tRNA carries one of these to the ribosome
Amino Acid alternative/acceptable answer- anticodon
The two strands in DNA run in this direction in regards to each other
antiparallel
