Hydrophobic substances include large, uncharged particle ... s like fats and oils solvent ✔✔A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances Solute ✔✔A substance that is dissolved in a solution. Adhesive ✔✔Having the ability to stick to other surfaces. Cohesive ✔✔having the ability to stick together Heat of Vaporization ✔✔The amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas Anticodon ✔✔Three-base sequence in a transfer RNA molecule base that pairs with a complementary codon in mRNA Central Dogma of Molecular Biology ✔✔DNA -> RNA -> Protein This paradigm was formulated by Grancis Crick: First, a portion of the DNA, a gene, is transcribed to produce a complementary strand of RNA; then RNA is translated into protein Codon ✔✔A specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid DNA ✔✔deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
