Giving 25 points! very important test. 1. is a specific sequence of three adjacent nucleotides on a strand of DNA or RNA that specifies the genetic code information for synthesizing a particular amino acid. 2. Ais a sudden departure from the parent type in one or more heritable characteristics, caused by a change in a gene or a chromosome. 3. is RNA, synthesized from a DNA template during transcription, that mediates the transfer of genetic information from the cell nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis. 4. is the process by which double-stranded DNA makes copies of itself, each strand, as it separates, synthesizing a complementary strand 5. are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. 6. is a circular, double-stranded unit of DNA that replicates within a cell independently of the chromosomal DNA. 7. A is a minute round particle composed of RNA and protein that is found in the cytoplasm of living cells and serves as the site of assembly for polypeptides encoded by messenger RNA. 8. is the process by which genetic information on a strand of DNA is used to synthesize a strand of complementary RNA 9. functions vary from taking the code for a protein to the ribosome (m-RNA)to bringing correct amino acids to produce the protein (t-RNA) 10. is one of a class of RNA molecules that transports amino acids to ribosomes for incorporation into a polypeptide undergoing synthesis.
