DNA Review

The ability of an organism to "turn genes on or off" in response to its environment.

• Gene Regulation
• Genetic Code
• Transcription
• Translation

An extremely long macromolecule that is the main component of chromosomes and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms

• Nucleotide
• Deoxyribonucleic Acid
• Hydrogen Bonds
• Proteins

Building blocks of DNA.

• Nucleotide
• RNA
• Hydrogen Bonds
• Proteins

Bond formed when two atoms share one or more electrons.

• Covalent Bond
• Ionic Bond
• Nucleotide
• Hydrogen Bond

The spiral arrangement of the two complementary strands of DNA

• Base Pairing
• DNA Polymerase
• Double Helix
• Promoter

The process by which double-stranded DNA makes copies of itself

• Transcription
• Translation
• Replication
• Protein Synthesis

Enzyme involved in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid.

• RNA 
• DNA Polymerase
• Polypeptide
• RNA Polymerase

The process by which genetic information on a strand of DNA is used to synthesize a strand of complementary RNA.

• Transcription
• Translation
• Replication
• Protein Synthesis

Three nucleotides in the messenger RNA chain that code for a specific amino acid in the synthesis of a protein molecule.

• Promoter
• Anti-Codon
• Codon
• tRNA

The process by which a messenger RNA molecule specifies the linear sequence of amino acids on a ribosome for protein synthesis.
