|---|
| ATP | nitrogen-containing base that is a component of a nucleotide |
| Enzyme function | creates to separate things, muscles contract |
| Salivary amylase | enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar, can be found in human saliva |
| Nucleotides | molecules that make up DNA and RNA |
| Double helix | shape of a DNA strand |
| Replication | process by which DNA copies itself during interphase |
| Protein synthesis | formation of proteins using info coded on DNA and carried by RNA |
| Functions of helicase | enzyme that separates DNA strands before replication |
| DNA polymerase | enzyme that binds to the separated strands of DNA and assembles each strand’s complement in replication |
| Ligases | enzyme that can catalyse the joining of two large molecules by forming a new chemical bond |
| Replication fork | point at which DNA strands separate during replication |
| Okazaki fragments | short fragment of DNA created on lagging strand during DNA replication |
| Semiconservative replication | would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand |
| Transcription | process in which RNA is made from DNA |
| Translation | process of converting the genetic code in RNA into amino acid sequence that makes up a protein |
| DNA-RNA proteina | combination of DNA combining with RNA to form proteins |
| Genetic code | triplets of nucleotides in RNA that determine the sequence of amino acids in protein |
