E N D
A codon consist of…. • Three consecutive nitrogen bases of mRNA. • One codon translates into 1 amino acid.
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called… • A mutation.
What nitrogen bases are found in DNA? • Cytosine (C) • Guanine (G) • Thymine (T) • Adenine (A)
What nitrogen bases are found in mRNA? Cytosine Guanine Adenine Uracil
What are the differences between DNA and mRNA? • DNA is double stranded and mRNA is single stranded. • DNA cannot leave the nucleus and mRNA can leave the nucleus. • DNA has Thymine and mRNA has Uracil. • DNA has deoxyribose sugar and mRNA has ribose sugar.
What types of living things contain DNA? • All living things. • Plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, protists.
Complete the following DNA sequence: 5’ ACCTCGAAT 3’ • 3’ TGGAGCTTA 5’
What process is shown in the diagram? What is it’s function? • DNA replication • The function of replication is to produce an exact copy of DNA for cell reproduction. • This process ensures consistency.
What holds the complementary nitrogen bases together on a DNA molcule? • Hydrogen bonds
What shape is DNA? • Double helix • Double stranded • Twisted ladder
What is the function of DNA? Carries the code for the information for what proteins will be made by the cell.
What is the function of a ribosome? • To translate mRNA into a protein. • Synthesize protein.
A change in the DNA code is called a… • Mutation • Mutations can occur naturally or be caused by a mutagen like UV rays. • Mutations increase genetic diversity when they cause a positive change in the organism. • Mutations can cause genetic diseases. • Mutations may have no effect at all.
A piece of DNA that is transcribed onto mRNA and translated into a protein is called…. • An exon. • Exons are expressed.
DNA that does not transcribe and code for protein is called… • An intron. • Introns are left in the nucleus.
What mRNA bases would complement the following DNA strand? ATTCCGATCATC • UAAGGCUAGUAG
What is being produced in this diagram? • A protein • A polypeptide chain • This process is translation
What is the function of the figure in the diagram? • Carries amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis. • tRNA’s anticodon matches to the mRNA’s codon and assembles amino acids in the correct order to produce a protein.
