| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
The shape of a d n a molecule can be described as a | Twisted ladder |
An idna molecule adenine always pairs with | Thymine |
Each nucleotide is made up of 3 parts, a sugar, a phosphate, and a base | True |
Changing the order of the nucleotides and d n a leaves the protein that is built unaffected as long as the same nucleotides are present | False |
A chromosome is a section of DNA that codes for a unique protein. | False |
There are _______ different kinds of bases found in dna | Three |
R n a uses ______ instead of thymine | Uracil |
What do we call the process of converting rna code into a protein | Translation |
Protein synthesis is best described by | The bonding , together of amino acids in a growing chain |
Shows that jeans and their functions are examples of engineered systems and irreducible complexity | Transcription and translation appear to be designed and built to work together to do a certain job and transcription and translation require many parts working together to produce proteins. And if tRNA were missing from translation, the entire process would not function properly. |
A group of three nucleotides form _______ the words of the d n a or r n a molecule | Codons |
How do tRNA molecules know how to lineup their amino acids in the correct order at the M r n a strand | By finding the coons on the m r n a strand that match their anticodons |
The _______ _______ is the process of growth and reproduction of the cell | Cell cycle |
Cells spend most of their time in the _______ portion of the cell cycle | Interphase |
What is the cell cycle | Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis |
The portion of the cell cycle , during which the cell grows and carries out its normal ______ | Functions |
An ___________ unzips , the d n a into _____ halves | Enzyme and two |
In time , each half of the original d n a will have a _____ ___________ side | New matching |
Mitosis ensures that each new _________ produced will have the same number in kind of gene as those in the original ___________ | Daughter cell
Parent cell |
The DNA is in long,thin strands called | Chromatin |
