Messenger functions/ Cell cycle

Transcription

takes place in the nucleus. Cell makes a copy ( taking from one persons word and rewritten in your language) (script means write/ rewriting it from DNA to RNA) still writing with nucleotides just writing in a simpler form.

Translation

(rewriting it in a different language) taking tRNA and turning it into protein. Taking nucleotides and adding amino acids to make proteins. takes place in cytoplasm

RNA polymerase

enzymes because it ends in “ase”. 1. Finds a start spot for the gene we need. Then reads the DNA once it is binded to a promoter region.

Ribosome RNA

large subunits and smalls sub unit- basically two sides that are going to be reading the message rna

MRNA

nucleotide after nucleotide. Reads 3 base units at a time.

TRNA

has the anti codon, the pair that matched up with the 3 base sequence

Codon

lives on messenger RNA. The three base sequence on the messenger RNA.

Anticodon

The matching nucleotide sequence on the transfer RNA

Meiosis

has half the DNA and is how we get the term

Mitosis

Both of the new cells look like the original cells

Genotype

is what your alleles on your chromosomes code for

Phenotype

is what the body actually shows us.

Malignant

Invade other tissues and it can spread to other parts of the body

DNA

genetic material for the human. DNA can never leave the nucleus. 1 of 4 organic molecules. (Chromatin is the material that makes up DNA).
