What is a "strand" of DNA?
What are the three parts of transcription?
Transcription takes place in three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Transcription occurs in the three steps—initiation, elongation, and termination—all shown here.
What are the 3 stages of translation?
Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
What are proteins?
Biomolecules
The codon AAA brings what Amino acid?
LYSINE
How many strands make up a DNA double helix?
two
What are the steps of transcription?
What is the order of translation?
Beginning, middle, and end
What are proteins made up of?
A chain of amino acids
The codon GCU brings what amino acid?
ALANINE
How do cells make accurate copies of DNA?
The cell has multiple mechanisms to ensure the accuracy of DNA replication. The first mechanism is the use of a faithful polymerase enzyme that can accurately copy long stretches of DNA. The second mechanism would be for the polymerase to catch its own mistakes and correct them. ... DNA is double-stranded.
What are the two types of transcription factors?
What happens during translation?
In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in a ribosome, outside the nucleus, to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide. The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell.
Where does TRANSLATION take place?
In the ribosomes
Name all the codons that can bring Serine.
AGC-AGU
When do cells duplicate their DNA?
interphase
What is the goal of transcription?
The goal of transcription is to make a RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. For a protein-coding gene, the RNA copy, or transcript, carries the information needed to build a polypeptide (protein or protein subunit). Eukaryotic transcripts need to go through some processing steps before translation into proteins.
Why is translation important?
Translation is very important in the process of making proteins. Without transcription and translation, your body would have no possible way to make proteins, or function. Proteins allow your body to do everything. Muscle proteins allow your muscles to strengthen and grow.
What is the first step to make a protein?
transcription
DNA - RNA
The codon AAG brings what amino acid
VALINE
What information is coded into DNA?
Transcription factors are proteins possessing domains that bind to the DNA of promoter or enhancer regions of specific genes. They typically do so by acting on promoters or enhancers to activate or repress the transcription of specific genes.
Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins
