WGU Biochem C785: Unit 4 DNA and RNA Already Passed

WGU Biochem C785: Unit 4 DNA and RNA Already Passed DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) An organisms genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell Double stranded helical nucleic acid molecule consisting of nucleotide monomers with deoxyribose sugar and nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, T) capable of replicating Which nucleotides/bases are used in DNA? A - Adenine C - Cystine G - Guanine T - Thymine RNA (ribonucleic acid) A nucleic acid consisting of nucleotide monomers with a ribose sugar and nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, U) Usually single stranded Functions in protein synthesis, gene regulation, and as the genome of some viruses Central Dogma DNA - RNA - Protein DNA - Transcription -mRNA - Translation - ProteinThe process by which the instructions in DNA are converted into a functional product The flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA protein Which nucleotides/bases are used in RNA? A - Adenine C - Cystine G - Guanine U - Uracil Which nucleotides/bases pair together to form DNA? A - T C - G Which nucleotides/bases pair together to form RNA? A - U C - G Genes A segment of a DNA molecule that information or directions on how to build a protein Gene Expression When a gene in DNA is "turned on" or used to make the protein is specifies Includes 2 Stages: Transcrip DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) An organisms genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell Double stranded helical nucleic acid molecule consisting of nucleotide monomers with deoxyribose sugar and nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, T) capable of replicating Which nucleotides/bases are used in DNA?
