Recombinant DNA a. 3 nucleotide bases on a tRNA that will pair with three bases on the mRNA b. Term for two nucleotide bases joining up, A with T and C with G c. The genetic material of an organism is changed by the addition of another organism’s DNA (in this unit, used referring to the bacteria changed in Griffith’s experiments) d. Type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome e. Type of RNA that makes up part of the ribosome itself f. Type of RNA that carries the gene code from the DNA to the ribosome g. A monomer of DNA and RNA; made of phosphate, sugar and a nitrogenous base h. A mutation in which one base is substituted for another, potentially altering one amino acid i. Term used for the process of DNA being copied into an mRNA strand j. An accidental change in the genetic information of an organism, resulting from a mutagen or a mistake in replication k. DNA that combines the genetic material of more than one species, as a result of laboratory experimentation l. A type of virus that only infects bacteria; was important in discovering the importance and role of DNA in the cell m. 3 nucleotide bases on a mRNA that pair with three bases on a tRNA n. The process of tRNA ‘reading’ an mRNA and the protein being assembled o. An enzyme from bacteria that work like molecular scissors, cutting DNA at certain sequences p. The process of DNA copying itself to make two copies of the double stranded DNA molecule q. A mutation in which a nucleotide is added in or taken out, resulting in the entire mRNA strand being read incorrectly r. A stretch of DNA that codes for a protein
