Plasmid
Codon
Transcription
Anticodon
Using science for medical or agricultural advances (disease-resistant corn, developing vaccines)
Biotechnology (also called "Biotech")
Mutations
Electrophoresis
Polymerase
Sequence of 3 nucleotides that code for an amino acid, located on DNA or mRNA.
RNA
Codon
Plasmid
Mutation
Specific type of biotechnology that alters genes of an organism to modify it's characteristics (disease-resistant crops, for example)
Translation
Gel Electrophoresis
Transcription
Genetic Engineering
RNA that carries instructions for making proteins from DNA to the ribosomes.
Messenger RNA
(mRNA)
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
All RNA
A change to the nucleotide sequence, which changes the amino acid it originally coded for.
Translation
Genetic Engineering
Mutation
Plasmid
Macromolecule that carries protein instructions to ribosomes, makes up ribosomes, aand brings amino acids to the ribosomes (messenger, ribosomal, and transfer).
Phosphorus
DNA
Mutagen
RNA
ENZYME that catalyzes synthesis of RNA by transcribing RNA from DNA
DNA Polymerase
Mutation
RNA Polymerase
Genetic Engineering
Process of unwinding DNA (A, T, C, G) and using 1 of it's 2 strands as a template to make mRNA (A, U, C, G), using the same language of nucleotides (A, T, U, C, G).
Biotechnology
Translation
Plasmid
Transcription
Brings specific amino acids to a growing protein chain based on it's anticodon
All RNA
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
Process that reads the mRNA language of nucleotides (A, U, G, C) and translates the code into the amino acid language (Lysine (Lys), Tryptophan (Trp), etc) which makes proteins.
Biotechnology
Translation
Genetic Engineering
Transcription
Small, circular DNA molecule that replicates seperately from the bacterial chromosome, that can spread antibiotic resistance.
Plasmid
Genetic Engineering
RNA
Translation
Technique separating molecules of DNA, RNA, or proteins by size and charge, working like a sieve filtering particles. Smaller particles move further, thus separating by size.
Plasmids
Antibiotics
DNA Polymerase
Gel Electrophoresis
