QuestionAnswer
Molecule used as blueprint for all life DNA
Full name of DNA deoxyribonucleic acid
What are the three parts to a nucleotide? phosphate, sugar, base
What is the sugar found in DNA? deoxyribose
What are the 4 nitrogen bases found in DNA? Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C)
What are the base pairing rules for DNA? A-T, G-C
What makes up the backbone of a DNA molecule? phosphate and sugar
What makes up the rungs of the DNA ladder? nitrogen bases
What kind of bond holds together the nitrogen bases in DNA? weak hydrogen bonds
Where in the cell is DNA found? nucleus
What are the two types of nucleic acids? DNA and RNA
What does RNA stand for? Ribonucleic Acid
What type of sugar is found in RNA? ribose
How many strands are found in a RNA molecule? 1
What are the two differences between a DNA nucleotide and a RNA nucleotide? the sugar: DNA has dooxyribose and RNA has ribose. the bases:DNA has A, T, G, C and RNA has A, U, G, C
What are the four nitrogen bases in RNA? Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C)
What are the two parts of Protein Synthesis? Transcription and Translation
What is the first part of Protein Synthesis? Transcription
Where does transcription take place in the cell? nucleus
What is used during transcription to make mRNA? DNA
What does the "m" in mRNA stand for? messenger
What serves as the template for making mRNA? DNA, since mRNA is made in the nucleus during transcription from DNA
How many strands is mRNA? one, like all RNA molecules
What is a codon? 3 bases in a row
What two molecules have codons? DNA and mRNA
What would the mRNA codon be if the DNA template is ATG? UAC
Where does the mRNA take the message after transcription is over? to the cytoplasm to a ribosome for translation
What is the second part of Protein Synthesis? Translation
What is being "translated" during translation the mRNA to make proteins
What does the mRNA insert into to start translation? a ribosome
After mRNA inserts into a ribosome, what molecule begins to bind to mRNA? tRNA with amino acids attached
What is attached to the end of each tRNA molecule? a specific amino acid?
How many bases in an anticodon? 3
What molecules has anti-codons? tRNA
What does the "t" stand for in tRNA? transfer
What does tRNA transfer the message from? mRNA
Where did mRNA get the message from to start translation? DNA during transcription
After tRNA anti-codons attach to mRNA codons in a ribosome, what happens next? The amino acids on the ends of the tRNA molecules bond together to form proteins.
What are proteins made of? amino acids
How many difference amino acids are there? 20
Where are proteins made? at a ribosome during translation
What four nitrogen bases are there in tRNA? same as all RNA: A, U, G, C
How many codons in the DNA strand: ATGCGTTCA 3: ATG-CGT-TCA
What is the tRNA complimentary bases if the mRNA codon is UGC? ACG
What molecule is used to find the amino acids on a codon chart? Always use mRNA when using a codon chart
What two molecules are used in transcription? DNA and mRNA
What is the order of translation? mRNA --> tRNA with amino acid attached --> protein
What molecule is used in both transcription and translation? mRNA
What two places does protein synthesis occur? nucleus for transcription and in the cytoplasm at a ribosome for translation
What is the only molecule that has anti codons? tRNA
What do you HAVE TO use to find the amino acids on a codon chart? mRNA

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
