Protein Synthesis
DNA, mRNA, and transcription
In the cell's nucleus, DNAs used as a template and compiled to create messenger RNA. travels into the cytoplasm
ribosome in order to begin building proteins.
tRNA
And as the ribosome reads nucleotide triplet of them are in a specific T are in a molecule matches up with the sequence and carries with it a specific amino acid. The amino acid then binds to the growing amino acid chain until the mRNA message comes to a stop and protein is created
DNA and RNA: What do they do all day
Replication
The action of copying or reproducing something.
Transcription
The process by which the information is the strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of mRNA
Translation
Step in protein biosynthesis wherein the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain
Miosis and Mitosis
What is the difference between the two? Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each
What happens more? Mitosis
Genetic Engineering Vocab
Genetic Engineering- the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by man put in genetic material alternating the DNA to get a trait you want.
Gene Therapy- Add or Takeaway to get rid of geans to get rid of genetic disorders.
Selective Breeding-Mating of two animals in an attempt to produce an offspring for a trait you purposely breed two traits to get what you want
Hybridization- Crossbreeding with another species
Inbreeding- To organisms that are closely related
Cloning- Making an identical genetic organism
Gene Splicing- Taking a gene have of one organism and putting in another gene
Genetically modified food- You change the gene of a plant in order to increase production
Genetically engineered Organs- a lab grows an organ to replace a non-healthy organ in your body
Transgenic Organisms- checking an organism that exhibits that will be passed down to their offspring
Genetic Screening- a test that will identify a genetic disease
Stem Cell Therapy- Is the use of stem cells to treat a present to disease or condition. bone marrow or umbilical cord
