What is the master copy of an organisms genetic code?

The master copy of an organism's genetic code is the DNA.


How are the different types of RNA different?

mRNA (messenger) - copies DNA's code during transcription and carries it out of the nucleus and to the ribosome. tRNA (transfer) - binds to specfic amino acids, and carries them to the ribosome during translation rRNA (ribosomal) - makes up ribosomes


What does mRNA carry away from the nucleus?

Basically, mRNA carries a message away from the nucleus. The nucleus says hey, we need these proteins made, and mRNA is made by using RNA polymerase to copy the information on DNA. That mRNA then moves out of the nucleus to a ribosome, where rRNA and tRNA will interact with the mRNA, eventually resulting in the production of a fully functional protein.


What tasks does messanger RNA perform during protein synthesis?

mRNA carries a copy of our DNA, our genetic information and is used in the synthesis of these proteins.


What went worng to cause a cell not to copy?

There could be a mutation in the genetic code that controls cell reproduction.


What is the genetic code found on mRna?

It is a direct - and exact - copy of the Genetic Sequence of the Dna; except that the base Thymine in Dna is replaced by the base Uracil in Rna.


What is the mirrorlike copy of DNA that moves from the nucleus to the ribosome?

RNA


What molecule turns DNA to protein?

DNA doen't leave the nucleus but a copy of the segment (called mRNA) that codes for the protein leaves the cell and meets up with a ribosome. The ribosome will translate the copy of the DNA into a specific protein.


What type of RNA that transports amino acids to a ribosome?

Messenger RNA carries a copy of DNA out of the nucleus and into cytoplasm. Transfer RNA then carries amino acids to the copy of DNA to form a protein chain.


What cellular component carries out protein synthesis?

enzymes in the nucleus copy genes from DNA to messenger RNAsmessenger RNAs migrate from the nucleus through the cytoplasm to the ribosomesribosomes bind the messenger RNAs and transcribe them to proteins using transfer RNAs, each carrying one amino acidas the protein leaves the ribosome and enters the cytoplasm it folds into its final form, if necessary enzymes add crosslinks to lock the form perminantly


Always has a single copy of genetic information?

chromatid


What does a group of three nucleotides code for?

DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.
