List 4 differences between DNA and RNA
1. Sugar I'm DNA is deoxyribose, sugar in RNA is ribose
2. DNA is double helix, RNA has one strand
3. Base in DNA are C, G, A, T, RNA bases are C, G, A, U
4. DNA cannot leave the nucleus and RNA can
A group of 3 bases is called a:
triplet codon
Translation
mRNA giving code to tRNA
Transcription
DNA giving code to mRNA
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
5 carbon sugar, phosphate group, nitrogenous base
What is the first step in Protein Synthesis?
DNA unzips
What is the last step in Protein Synthesis?
mRNA carries code to cytoplasm (ribosomes) amino acids pair together.
Bases always bind to the same bases is an example of:
Complementary Base Pairings
What are segments of chromosomes?
genes
What are the base pairs in DNA?
T-A, C-G
What is C?
Cytosine
What is G?
Guanine
What are the base pairs in RNA?
U-A,C-G
How does the code get from the nucleus to cytoplasm?
mRNA
How do the amino acids get to the ribosome?
tRNA
What is the store of information in each gene?
Genetic Code
This would be all of the DNA in each cell of the body.
Genome
