3rd six week vocab part 1 - Protein Synthesis

Nitrogenous base that pairs with Thymine in DNA and Uracil in
RNA

• Codon

• Adenine

• Protein

• Uracil

Building blocks of proteins. Made from genetic code in
ribosomes

• transcription

• gene mutation

• amino acid

• peptide bond

A sequence of 3 nucleotide bases in tRNA that identifies the
amino acid carried and binds to a complementary codon in
mRNA

• translation

• protein

• anticodon

• uracil

Threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic
information that is passed from one generation of cells to the
next

• mRNA

• chromosome

• translation

• nondisjunction

A change in the chromosomes resulting from rearranged
chromosome parts and changes in the number of chromosomes
present in the genome

• gene mutation

• protein synthesis

• Chromosomal Mutation
  

A sequence of 3 nucleotide bases that is part of the genetic code
and specifies a particular amino acid in a protein. Also called a
triplet

• Polypeptide chain

• gene mutation

• anticodon

• codon

A change to your DNA sequence that may remove, add, or
replace pieces of your DNA

• gene mutation

• RNA polymerase

• transcription

• uracil

Carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein
synthesis in the ribosomes

• mRNA

• sRNA

• tRNA

Occurs when chromosomes do not separate properly during cell
division. This produces cells with incorrect number of
chromosomes.

• codon

• protein synthesis

• non-disjunction

• amino acid

Bond that holds amino acids together to build the protein

• peptide bond

• anticodon

• amino acid
