?
What group does a nucleotide have?
A phosphate group
1 of 31
What bases does DNA have?
A, T, G and C
2 of 31
What bases does RNA have?
A, U, G, C
3 of 31
What sugar does DNA have?
Deoxyribose
4 of 31
What sugar does RNA have?
Ribose
5 of 31
How do nucleotides join?
In a condensation reaction
6 of 31
Wha sort of chain is RNA?
Signle stranded chain of nucleotides
7 of 31
What chain is DNA?
Two seperate chains held together by hydrogen bonds
8 of 31
what is this coiled shaped called?
A double helix
9 of 31
What is the complementary base pairing system
A + T, C + G
10 of 31
How many hydrogen bonds form between, T + A, C+G?
2 and 3
11 of 31
What is the genetic code?
The order of bases on one strand of DNA
12 of 31
What is the code formed from?
The triplet of bases
13 of 31
What does each triplet code for?
An amino acid
14 of 31
What will the structure of amino acids form?
A polypeptide
15 of 31
What does TRNA do?
brings amino acid to MRNA molecule for translation
16 of 31
What is the conservative model?
The DNA molecule would get copied and make a new molecule
17 of 31
What is dispersive model?
DNA cuts off at various parts and then swaps to make two new molecules
18 of 31
What is the semi conservative model?
The DNA splits which forms the base for two new DNA molecules
19 of 31
What is the first step in DNA replication?
Hydrogen bonds between bases break allowing the DNA to unzip
20 of 31
What do the DNA nucleotides then do?
Pair up with their complementary bases
21 of 31
What links the adjacent nucleotides?
DNA polymerase
22 of 31
What are created as a result?
Two identical daughter strands
23 of 31
What is the first step in transcription?
DNA unwinds and hydrogen bonds between base pairs split and seperate the two strands
24 of 31
What strand is used in the formation of mRNA?
Antisense strand
25 of 31
What are the ribonucleotides tied up with?
Their complementary base pair on the template strand, U and A
26 of 31
What are Ribonucleotides joined up by?
RNA polymerase
27 of 31
to form what?
A strand of mRNA
28 of 31
During translation, What does the mRNA do?
Carry the genetic information in the sam base sequence language as DNA
29 of 31
What does tRNA do?
translate the base sequence on the mRNA into the protein amino acid sequence
30 of 31
What does each tRNA carry?
An amino acid to the mRNA where the amino acid carried by the other tRNA to build a polypeptide
