This is the cell organelle where transcription occurs
Nucleus
Which is the correct sequence of the transfer of genetic information? Hint: the central idea
DNA --> RNA -- > Protein
DNA is transcribed into this
mRNA
This type of RNA carries codons
mRNA
When an insertion or deletion of a DNA base occurs it leads to this type of mutation
frameshift
In RNA Adenine (A) pairs with _________ .
Uracil (U)
Most mutations don't change the amino acid, which means they are called this _ _ _ _ _ _
Silent
The process of building polypeptide chains (protein) from mRNA
Translation
Type of mutation where one base is replaced with another
Substitution
The number of bases found in one codon
3!
The two strands in DNA run in this direction in regards to each other
antiparallel
Give the complementary bases to this DNA strand: ATTC
TAAG
Any change in the genetic code
Mutation
The shape of DNA
Double Helix
This is the type of RNA found as the sub-unit of the Ribosome
rRNA
Transcribe this DNA into RNA: TTGA
AACU
What are the 3 jobs of DNA?
Storing, copying, and transmitting genetic information
Each tRNA carries one of these to the ribosome
Amino Acid alternative/acceptable answer- anticodon
DNA needs to replicate (copy) in order to allow for these processes
Growth and repair (healing)
This is the cell organelle where translation occurs
Ribosome
The process of building mRNA from the DNA base code
Transcription
The type of bond that holds the deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups together in DNA
Covalent
