DNA double helix — structure?
Two strands wound in a spiral.
DNA packaging — process?
DNA wraps around histones to form chromosomes.
3‘- and 5‘- ends — orientation?
Determine DNA strand directionality and replication.
Nucleotides — basic units?
Sugar, phosphate, nitrogenous base.
DNA bases — four types?
A, T, C, G.
Sugar in DNA — component?
Deoxyribose.
DNA replication — timing?
During S phase of cell cycle.
Replication — mechanism?
Bidirectional, semiconservative.
Key enzymes in replication?
Helicase, DNA polymerase, ligase.
Leading strand — synthesis?
Continuous in 5’ to 3’ direction.
Lagging strand — synthesis?
Discontinuous, in Okazaki fragments.
Transcription — process?
DNA to mRNA in nucleus.
Location of transcription?
Nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
DNA vs RNA — sugar?
DNA: deoxyribose; RNA: ribose.
DNA vs RNA — bases?
DNA: T; RNA: U replaces T.
Transcription of codogenic strand — role?
Produces mRNA complementary to template strand.
Translation — location?
Cytoplasm at ribosome.
tRNA — role?
Carries amino acids, recognizes mRNA codons.
Genetic code — universality?
Shared across nearly all organisms.
Genetic code — redundancy?
Multiple codons encode same amino acid.
