Molecular Genetics

Method of DNA replication in which parent strand separate, act as templates, and produce molecules of DNA with one parental DNA strand and one new DNA strand.

• Conservative

• Non conservative

• Semiconservative

Process by which mRNA attaches to the ribosome and a protein is assembled.

• Translation

• Transcription

Ability of an organism to control which genes are transcribed in response to the environment.

• Operon

• Mutation

• Gene Regulation

• Mutagen

Enzyme that chemically links DNA fragments together.

• DNA Ligase

• RNA Primase

• DNA Helicase

Process in which mRNA is synthesized from the template DNA.

• Transcription

• Translation

A mutation caused by the addition or deletion of a base pair or base pairs in the DNA of a gene resulting in the translation of the genetic code in an unnatural reading frame from the position of the mutation to the end of the gene.

• Deletion

• Point

• Insertion

• Frameshift
