Term
|
Definition
| basic building block of DNA; DNA is a polymer made up of units called nucleotides |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells; Found free floating in prokaryotic cells; Chromosomes are located (formed) by the DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| process of a strand being split into 2 strands, and from those 2 strands 2 complementary strands are formed to join and become 2 complete DNA strands |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| enzymes that unzip the DNA strand |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| enzyme that reads and duplicates the DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The DNA is unzipped by the DNA helicase, then DNA is copied by the DNA polymerase |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| messenger RNA during transcription, reads unzipped DNA and forms complementary strand (U complementary to A; no T in RNA) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| transfer RNA during translation brings the necessary amino acids needed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Process in which DNA in the nucleus is unzipped and transcription occurs. Then in the ribosome, translation occurs. Needed to form amino acids & proteins. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Organelle where translation occurs. |
