Vocabulary Review Chapter 12 DNA, RNA, Proteins
Central Dogma of molecular biology DNA-RNA-Protein
u u DNA RNA
The structure that stores and transmits genetic information in cells Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA
Scientist who Worked out Base-pairing rule: purines With pyrimidines A-T, C-G Chargaff
Two scientists who published a paper in 1953 suggesting the correct structure of DNA Watson & Crick
The five-carbon sugar found in DNA deoxyribose
A single-ringed nitrogenous base pyrimidine
A term used to describe the shape of DNA Double helix
The backbone (sides) of the Double Helix Phosphate, sugar backbone
The rungs of DNA ladder Nitrogen bases
Weak bonds that hold nitrogen bases together in base pairing hydrogen
The process by which DNA makes a copy of itself Replication
Region of DNA that marks the start of a gene in eukaryotes promoter
Region of DNA that marks the end of a gene in eukaryotes Termination…stop
Cytosine pairs with guanine Base-pairing rule
Adenine bonds with thymine Base-pairing rule
NUCLEIC ACIDS are built from subunits called nucleotide
phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogen-containing base DNA nucleotide
adenine (A), thymine (T),guanine (G), and cytosine (C) DNA nitrogen bases
Two New, Identical DNA Strands replication
Eukaryotic chromosomes are made of DNA & histone proteins
Genetic Code Codes for Protein A,T,C,G (U)
Two phases in Protein Synthesis (production of polypeptide chains, proteins) Transcription & Translation
Transcription enzyme that separates section of DNA at promoter site & matches RNA nucleotides RNA polymerase
The five-carbon sugar found in ribonucleic acid (RNA) ribose
Three types of RNA mRNA tRNA & rRNA
Start Codon in Transcription AUG = Met methionine
Each codon “three letter nitrogen base” on mRNA codes for ONE amino acid
Function of rRNA(ribosomal RNA) Makes up the ribosome with proteins
tRNA Structure:ammino acid one endanticodon at other end Cloverleaf shape
Stop codons in Transcription UGA, UAG, UAA Does NOT code for amino acid
A type of RNA that copies the genetic code in the nucleus and takes it to the ribosome Messenger RNA (mRNA)
A type of RNA that combines with proteins to make ribosomes Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
A type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosomes Transfer RNA (tRNA) Clover-leaf shape
The process by which DNA is separated and mRNA makes a copy of the DNA code transcription
The main enzyme used during transcription; it separates the DNA strands and binds mRNA to the DNA RNA polymerase
The process known as protein synthesis in which the mRNA code is used to build a polypeptide chain translation
The location where translation occurs Ribosome cytoplasm
A sequence of three tRNA (bases) nucleotides that bind with a codon during translation anticodon
