DNA /RNA
Adenine - ANS-a dna component, a chemical (purine) that is always combined with a
thymine (pyrimidine)
\amino acid - ANS-a monomer that makes up the polymer protein
\anticodon - ANS-a three letter base on a tRna molecule
\Base Pair Rule - ANS-the rule for nitrogen base pairing, A-T & G-C
\codon - ANS-a three letter base on a rna molecule
\Cytosine - ANS-a dna component, a chemical (pyrimidine) that is always combined with an
guanine (purine)
\Deoxyribose - ANS-the 5 carbon sugar that makes up the back bone of the dna molecule
\DNA - ANS-deoxyribonucleic acid,an organisms genetic information
\DNA Polymerase - ANS-an enzyme that finds and places complimentary nucleotides in
open areas of the original dna strand
\DNA replication - ANS-the process by which a cell copies a dna molecule prior to mitosis
\Double Helix - ANS-the shape of the DNA molecule, like a twisted ladder
\Guanine - ANS-a dna component, a chemical (purine) that is always combined with a
cytosine (pyrimidine)
\Helicase - ANS-an enzyme that "unzips" the dna molecule in preparation for replication
\helix - ANS-the single strand molecule produced in transcription
\Hydrogen Bond - ANS-the weak bond that holds nitrogen bases (a,t,c,g) together
\mRna - ANS-a molecule that carries a message for making proteins
\Nucleotide - ANS-made up of 1 deoxyribose, 1 phosphate group and one of 4 nitrogen
bases (a,t,c,g)
\Phosphate group - ANS-the 3 phosphates that make up the back bone of the dna molecule
\protein synthesis - ANS-the process involving transcription & translation whereby proteins
are made
\Ribose - ANS-the sugar found in rna molecules
\RNA - ANS-ribonucleic acid, a spiral helix strand that reads dna instructions to make
proteins
\Rna Polyermase - ANS-an enzyme that make the polymer rna in transcription
\Semi Conservative Model - ANS-the idea that dna replication saves half of the original dna
strand when replicating
\Thymine - ANS-a dna component, a chemical (pyrimidine) that is always combined with an
adenine (purine)
\transcription - ANS-the process of making rna from a segment of dna called a gene
\translation - ANS-the process where a tRna decodes a rna to make a protein
\tRna - ANS-a molecule involve in protein synthesis that transports an amino acid and has
an anticodon
\Uracil - ANS-a chemical found in a rna molecule
