Studied by 2 peopleanticodon
3 bases that are complementary to one mRNA codon.
bacteriophage
one kind of virus that infects bacteria (DNA or RNA core and protein coat)
basepairing
pairing of the codons with the new strands.
chromatin
eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together
codon
consists of three consecutive nucleotides that specify a single amino acid that is to be added to the polypeptide.
differentiation
cells become specialized in structure and function.
dna polymerase
joins individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule which is a polymer.
exon
DNA sequences that code for proteins
frameshift mutation
change every codon from the point of mutation onward in a gene insertions and deletions are the 2 types.
gene
are coded DNA instructions that control the production of proteins within a cell.
histone
Chromatin consists of DNA that is tightly coiled around proteins called
intron
(not involved in coding for proteins), DNA of eukaryotic genes contains sequences of nucleotides called
messenger mrna
carry instructions for making protein from DNA to ribosome
mutation
mistakes in copying their own DNA inserting an incorrect base of skipping a base a the new strand is put together
nucleotide
DNA is a long molecule made up of units called
point mutation
gene mutations involving changes in one or a few nucleotides
replication
idk
ribosomal (rRNA)
combines with proteins to make up ribosomes
rna polymerase
proof reader for rna
transcription
RNA molecules are produced by copying a part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA a process called
transfer (tRNA)
bring amino acids to ribosome to build the protein
transformation
one strain of bacteria (the harmless strand) had apparently been changed permanently into another (the disease causing strand)
translation
decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein) is known as
