anatomy vocabulary

4. organelle used in protein synthesis, needed for translation
6. “carriers” of rna that produces amino acids, brings needed amino acid to ribosome based on mRNA sequence
8. strand DNA strand containing DNA triplets that specify amino acid order
10. provide genetic information, x shaped distinct structures that coil during cell division, specifically prophase
13. product of transcription, used to produce copies of genetic information that leave the nucleus and transfer to cytoplasm
14. binds to codon, contains three bases
15. part of the chromosome spindles attach to during mitosis
17. activation the process by which a DNA molecule is uncoiled and histones are removed temporarily, at a specific gene
18. regions that are eliminate when RNA processing occurs, does not contain code
20. creates and stores proteins instructions, controls the order of amino acids, double helix
21. damaged genes that alter genetic code, damaging nucleotide sequence

1. the process by which amino acids are formed, aka polypeptides, through the use of mRNA created by transcription
2. strand DNA strand used as a model for the creation of mRNA, contains complementary triplets
3. the protein that makes, x up the nuclei
5. a specific location on chromosome, basic unit of heredity, contains DNA triplets
7. messenger to cells, control segment located at the beginning of gene
9. code the chemical instruction in DNA and RNA that determines amino acid sequence
10. created through the loose coiling of nucleosomes, tangle of filaments
11. polymerase an enzyme in which bonds to a protomer
12. synthesis occurs in cytoplasm, the creation of amino acid chains (polypeptide)
15. comprised of three bases, used for mRNA sequencing
16. opposite of intron, contains code for proteins, spliced together as RNA processing takes place
19. the process by which mRNA is produced from a template strand of DNA
