DNA/RNA/Protein Synthesis Review

Front

Charagaff’s Rule

Back

There are equal amounts of A and T and there are equal amounts of C and G also there are more A’s and T’s than C’s and G’s. /Due to shape

Front

What are the four bases?

Back

A, T, C, G

Front

What are the basic units of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides which are made up of phosphate group, a sugar and a base.

Front

Who discovered the shape of DNA?

Back

Watson and Crick

Front

Describe the shape of DNA.

Back

Similar to a twisted ladder AKA double helix

Front

What information does DNA contain?

Back

Genetic info

Front

How does DNA make copies of itself?

Back

It separates down the middle of the 2 bases, separating the hydrogen bonds, then it copys each side and connects back with each other.

Front

How does DNA copy itself? (Teacher answer)

Back

DNA polymase attacks new nucleotides to old gene.

Front

What are the differences between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA-double strand, thymine, can’t have nucleus

RNA-single stranded, uracil, can have nucleus

Front

What are the 3 types of RNA?

Back

mRNA,rRNA,tRNA
