dna replication

Cards (29)

  • helps in various chemical reactions in the body
    enzyme
  • gives cells and tissues their shape and strength
    structural protein
  • contains sugar ribose, base uracil, single stranded, and short.
    RNA
  • contains deoxyribose, thymine, is double stranded, and long

    DNA
  • carries instructions from DNA to the ribosome, carries rows of codon which tells the ribosome which amino acid to add to the growing protein chain.
    Messenger RNA
  • construction site where the protein is built by combining with proteins to form ribosomes.
    Ribosomal RNA
  • connector and brings the necessary amino acids to the ribosome
    transfer RNA
  • copy of DNA’s instructions
    RNA
  • enzymes that unwinds the DNA
    helicase
  • prevents the two single strands from joining each other
    binding proteins
  • enzyme that builds short complementary piece of RNA
    primase
  • enzyme that adds new DNA nucleotides that are complementary to the bases on each exposed strand
    DNA polymerase
  • adenine is paired with?
    thymine
  • cytosine is paired with?
    guanine
  • thymine is paired with?
    adenine
  • guanine is paired with?
    cytosine
  • 3’ to 5’
    leading strand
  • 5’ to 3’
    lagging strand
  • small pieces of lagging strand
    okazaki fragments
  • contains instructions for making proteins for building and regulating the body
    DNA
  • what main processes are involved in protein synthesis?
    transcription and translation
  • DNA message is copied into a molecule called RNA
    transcription
  • the RNA message is used to assemble amino acids into a chain, forming a protein
    translation
  • ultimate director of cells and it codes for your traits
    DNA
  • has the ability to speed up reactions and build up or break down the items that they act on.
    enzymes
  • unzipping enzyme; breaks through hydrogen bonds holding DNA bases together
    Helicase
  • builder; replicates DNA molecules to build a new strand of DNA
    DNA polymerase
  • initializer; makes the primer so DNA polymerase knows where to start
    primase
  • gluer; helps DNA glue fragments together
    Ligase
