Front Back
The following nitrogen bases are found in DNA: TTC AAC AGC. What would be the base sequence in a complimentary strand produced during replication?
AAG TTG TCG
During protein synthesis, an anticodon on a tRNA pairs with a codon on this molecule
MRNA
During this process which happens in the nucleus, mRNA is made from one strand of DNA, uracil pairs with adenine and RNA polymerase synthesizes mRNA
Transcription
DNA is the genetic material found principally in this structure
Chromosome
This enzyme links nucleotides during DNA replication
DNA polymerase
Composed of a sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogen base.
Nucleotide
What do we call changes in the base sequence within a gene that can be caused by errors in the replication process, exposure to environmental substances or base substitutions.
Mutations
This RNA functions to carry amino acid during translation.
TRNA
In this double stranded molecule which resembles a twisted ladder, the backbone is sugar and phosphate with nitrogen bases bonded to sugar molecules and sugar molecules bonded to phosphate molecules and nitrogen bases bonded by hydrogen bonds.
DNA
What do we call the process of making a copy of DNA when bases form hydrogen bonds with complimentary bases?
Replication
This RNA carries instructions from the template strand of DNA to the ribosomes.
MRNA
Complimentary base pairing (A with T, C with G) comprise this part of the Watson and Crick model of DNA
Steps or rungs
In DNA, the sugar-phosphates make up what part of the DNA ladder?
Sides
This is the site of protein synthesis (translation) in eukaryotes.
Ribosomes
What do we call three exposed unpaired nitrogen bases on a tRNA?
Anticodon
