Which of the following can be described as the smallest living unit? (a)DNA (b)cell (c)organelle (d)protein B. CELL The flow of genetic information is controlled by a series of biochemical reactions that result in the production of proteins, each with its own specific order of amino acids. Choose the correct series biochemical reactions from the options presented here. (a)replication, transcription, translation (b)replication, translation, transcription (c)translation, transcription,...

What is Molecular biology? Hybrid discipline that combines elements of genetics and biochemistry. It is the study of gene structure and function at the molecular level. Gene "structure" Not the physical shape of a gene but a reference to the conserved bases that are consistently found in certain elements within a gene. Regulatory regions such as a promoter region. What types of molecules does molecular biology primarily deal with? Nucleic acids and proteins Why cant the earliest wor...

What is Molecular Biology?A hybrid discipline that combines elements of genetics and biochemistry. It is the study of gene structure and function at the molecular level (cloning methodology, RNA, DNA, how genes operate, nucleic acid chemistry). Can the earliest work on genes be considered as molecular biology or molecular genetics?no Was the molecular nature of genes known?no What is the early work on genes termed?transmission genetics, as it dealt with the transmission of traits from...

Central Dogma of Biology The flow of information of life. DNA to RNA to Protein. Sense Strand The strand of DNA that has the same sequence as the mRNA strand. Also known as the Non-Template strand. Anti-Sense Strand The strand of DNA that serves as the source for the protein code. Also known as the Template strand. The 4 Macromolecules of Life Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids, Proteins. Polypeptide Chains of amino acids. Proteins are made up of one or more. Linked covalently by p...

Nucleic acidsDNA and RNA are examples; so called because they are found in the nucleus and possess many acidic phosphate groups. Adenineone of the four aromatic bases found in DNA and RNA; a purine that pairs with thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA). Guanineone of four aromatic bases found in DNA and RNA; a purine that pairs with cytosine. Cytosineone of four aromatic bases found in DNA and RNA; a pyrimidine that pairs with guanine. Thymineone of four aromatic bases found in DNA and...

Nucleotide Monomer of DNA Nucleoside Molecule of ribose plus base 2-deoxyribose sugar that has a H at the 2' C Ribose Name of five carbon sugar that is found in RNA Basepair Two nucleotides, one with a purine & one with a pyrimidine, connected by H bonds Antiparallel means the two polynucleotide chains/strands run in opposite directions What two factors are the main determination of the Tm of DNA Amount of G:C's & overall strand length
