Questions and Answers
- 1.A sub-unit of which nucleic acids are composed: made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
- 2.A substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones.
- 3.The process by which the sequence of bases of a mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
- 4.A group of three nucleotide bases in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid to be incorporated into a protein.
- 5.A group of three bases on at RNA molecule that are complementary to the three bases of a codon of mRNA.
- 6.A change in the genetic material of a cell.
- 7.This base contains nitrogen and sticks out sideways from the nucleotide chain and can be joined together in any order. It is very good at absorbing light.
- 8.Looks like a twisted ladder, the two strands twist around each other like spiral staircases.
- 9.The percentages of adenine [A] and thymine [T] bases are almost equal in any smaple of DNA. The same thing is true for the other 2 nucleotides, guanine [G] and cytosine [C].
- 10.Nucleic acid made up of nucleotides joined into long strands or chains by covalent bonds, or genetic information.
- 11.A type of RNA that combines with proteins to form ribosomes.
- 12.A type of RNA htat carries each amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis.
- 13.A type of RNA that carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins form DNA to the rest of the cell.
- 14.Involves messenger RNA ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA. Most RNA molecules are involved in just this one job.
