1
New cards
mRNA
messenger RNA, carries the message from the DNA instructing the ribosome which sequence of amino acids to bond together
2
New cards
tRNA
transfer RNA, brings amino acids to the ribosome
3
New cards
rRNA
ribosomal RNA, part of RNA structure
4
New cards
Transcription
the creation of mRNA using DNA as a template
5
New cards
RNA polymerase
the enzyme that transcribes RNA from DNA
6
New cards
template strand
the strand of DNA that is transcribed, the “pattern
7
New cards
non template strand
the strand of DNA that is not transcribed
8
New cards
RNA splicing
the remove introns and join exons to create mature mRNA molecules
9
New cards
introns
he sections of mRNA molecule removed by RNA processing; do not contain useable code
10
New cards
exons
the remaining sections of mRNA reconnected by processing; contain the instructions for the protein
11
New cards
Poly-A Tail
repeating section of adenine molecules attached to the 3’
end of the mRNA molecule during processing
end of the mRNA molecule during processing
12
New cards
Translation
the use of mRNA sequence to generate a protein
13
New cards
codons
a series of three bases on the mRNA molecule complementary to the anti-codon on the tRNA molecule (Brenner & Crick)
14
New cards
anti-codons
a series of three bases on the tRNA molecule
complementary to the codon on the mRNA molecule
complementary to the codon on the mRNA molecule
15
New cards
genetic code
Information for traits contained in the nucleotide
sequence of DNA
sequence of DNA
16
New cards
Pyrimidine
a one-ring nitrogenous base
• Has one carbon ring
• Cytosine and thymine
• Has one carbon ring
• Cytosine and thymine
17
New cards
Purine
a two-ring nitrogenous base
• Has two carbon rings
• Adenine and guanine
• Has two carbon rings
• Adenine and guanine
18
New cards
complementary base pairing
a DNA strand which is able to bond to another strand according to the base-pairing rule
A=T
C=G
A=T
C=G
19
New cards
cell cycle
sequence of cell growth and division that occurs in a cell
between the beginning of one cell division and the beginning of the next cell division
between the beginning of one cell division and the beginning of the next cell division
20
New cards
DNA replication
the process by which the DNA code is copied exactly
21
New cards
semi-conservative replication
process of DNA replication that produces one original strand and one newly created strand
22
New cards
Helicase Enzymes
unwind and uncoil the DNA strands
23
New cards
replication forks
sites along DNA where separation and replication occur
24
New cards
Primase
enzyme that makes an RNA primer during DNA replication
• Attach to first exposed bases and lay short sections of RNA
• Attach to first exposed bases and lay short sections of RNA
25
New cards
DNA polymerase
the enzymes which bond nucleotides together in DNA replication
26
New cards
Okazaki fragments
a series of short segments of DNA synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication
27
New cards
Ligase
enzyme that binds segments of the new DNA strand together
28
New cards
Histone
a small protein that associates with DNA to form a nucleosome
29
New cards
nucleosome
unit of histone proteins and its attached section of DNA
30
New cards
Locus
the location of a gene on a certain chromosome
