Understanding DNA and RNA: Structure, Function, and Processes of Genetic Information

This comprehensive overview covers the essential aspects of DNA and RNA, including their structures, functions, and critical processes like replication, transcription, and translation. Learn how DNA stores genetic information, the rules of base pairing, and the differences between DNA and RNA. Discover the roles of various types of RNA, the significance of DNA polymerase, and the steps involved in transcription and translation. Furthermore, grasp the importance of codons and the synthesis of proteins from amino acids, a fundamental concept in molecular biology.

  2. What is the function of DNA?

  3. Stores all of the genetic information of an organism.

  4. What is the base pairing rule?

  5. A-TC-G

  6. What three things make up a DNA nucleotide?

  7. Deoxyribose Sugar, Phosphate, Nitrogen Base

  8. What are two names for the shape of DNA?

  9. Double Helix, Twisted Ladder, Spiral Staircase

  10. What determines the traits the traits of an organism?

  11. The sequence of nitrogen bases in DNA.

  12. What is the first step in DNA replication?

  13. The enzyme Helicase unzips the strand of DNA (breaks hydrogen bonds)

  14. What happens during DNA replication?

  15. The DNA strand is copied

  16. What is the function of DNA polymerase?

  17. It adds bases to the new DNA strand

  18. If the DNA strand reads:3’ ACGTTCC 5’What will the complimentary strand look like?

  19. 5’TGCAAGG 3’

  20. Why is replication called semi-conservative?

  21. Half of the original strand is conserved or saved, half is new.

  22. What is the name of the sugar in RNA?

  23. Ribose

  24. Describe the base-pairs found in RNA

  25. A-UC-G

  26. What is the role of messenger RNA?

  27. It leaves the nucleus and takes the code to the ribosome.

  28. Compare and Contrast DNA and RNAName two similarities and two differences

  29. DNA and RNA both are nucleic acids, have phosphate and sugar, and have nitrogen bases.RNA is single stranded, can leave the nucleus, contains uracil instead of thymine, and has the sugar ribose.

  30. What are the three types of RNA?

  31. mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

  32. What happens during transcription?

  33. mRNA is made from a DNA template

  34. Where does transcription occur in the cell?

  35. The nucleus

  36. If a DNA strand reads:3’ ATTAGCA 5’What will the complimentary mRNA strand look like?

  37. 5’ UAAUCGU 3’

  38. What is the function of RNA polymerase during transcription?

  39. It unzips the DNA helix and adds RNA bases to the strand.

  40. What are the three steps in transcription?

  41. Initiation, Elongation, Termination

  42. Where does translation occur in the cell?

  43. In the cytoplasm at the ribosome.

  44. What is a codon?

  45. A group of three nitrogen bases in mRNA.

  46. What are the building blocks of proteins?

  47. Amino Acids

  48. What is the function of tRNA in translation?

  49. It brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

  50. What amino acid does CCU code for?
