enFISB2-A17
Proteins : compound of amino acids
Amino acids : carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and sometimes sulfur compounds
Nucleic acid : Macromolecule that stores and communicates genetic information
Nucleotide : subunit of nucleic acid formed from a simple sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base
Double Helix : twisted ladder shape of DNA
RNA : Ribonucleic Acid
DNA : Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Semi conservative Replication : method of DNA replication (from one parental strand of DNA)
DNA Polymerase : enzyme that catalyzes addition of appropriate nucleotides to new DNA
Messenger RNA : RNA strand that goes from nucleus to a ribosome then to the synthesis of a specific protein.
Ribosomal RNA : associates with proteins to form ribosomes in cytoplasm
Transfer RNA : smaller segments of RNA transports amino acids to Ribosomes
Transcription : DNA codes are transferred to mRNA in the nucleus
RNA Polymerase : enzyme that catalyzes addition of appropriate nucleotides to new RNA
Codon : 3 nucleotide based code in RNA or DNA (AUG, TAC)
Translation : the process of making a protein from mRNA code
Mutation : a permanent change in a cells DNA
