Replication
adds nucleotides to the 3' end of a growing strand
What is DNA polymerase?
adds nucleotides to the 3' end of a growing mRNA sequence
What is RNA polymerase?
place in the mRNA sequence where translation is initiated
What is the start codon/AUG?
proteins that aid in RNA polymerase binding to the promoter
What are transcription factors?
parts of the mRNA removed during alternate splicing
What are introns?
the strand that the new strand is complimentary to
What is the parent/template strand?
what the RNA polymerase must bind to in order for transcription to occur
What is the promoter/TATA box?
type of RNA that reads the mRNA and adds AAs
What is tRNA?
type of histone modification/enzyme that decondenses chromatin
What is acetylation/acetylase?
parts of mRNA retained during alternative splicing
What are exons?
the direction that polymerases add nucleotides in
What is 5'-->3'?
groups of mRNA nucleotides that code for amino acids
What are codons?
where translation occurs
What is the cytoplasm/ribosome?
What is methylation?
RNA stability modifications
What are 5' caps and poly A tails?
the strand made of Okazaki fragments
What is the lagging strand?
where transcription occurs
What is the nucleus?
where translation ends as signaled by the mRNA
What is the stop codon?
where pre-transcriptional regulation occurs
What is the nucleus?
a type of RNA that degrades mRNA
What is microRNA?
process that amplifies targeted genes
What is PCR?
unwinds the DNA for transcription
What is RNA polymerase?
site on the ribosome where the tRNA initially binds
What is the A binding site?
DNA+Histones
What is chromatin?
tags proteins for degradation
What is ubiquitin?
