Biology CH13 DNA (New)
✅
transformation- The process in which one strain of bacteria is changed by
a gene or genes from another strain of bacteria
bacteriophage- ✅A kind of virus that infects bacteria
DNA- ✅The polymer used for storing genetic code
protein-✅The molecule that is responsible for building life, controlling
traits, and controlling behaviors. It is also what DNA codes for
✅
base pairing- The chemical bonds in DNA can form only between
adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine
deoxyribose- ✅A five-carbon sugar that is a component of DNA
nucleotides
✅
phosphate group- A functional group consisting of a phosphorus atom
covalently bonded to four oxygen atoms
✅
nitrogenous base- An organic base that contains nitrogen, such as a
purine or pyrimidine; a subunit of a nucleotide in DNA and RNA
✅A single side of DNA (when unzipped)
strand-
double helix-✅The form of native DNA, referring to its two adjacent
polynucleotide strands wound into a spiral shape.
✅The process of copying DNA prior to cell division
replication-
DNA polymerase-✅The enzyme involved in DNA replication that joins
individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule
telomere- ✅The tips of eukaryotic chromosomes
