100
Product of translation.
What is a protein?
100
This structure is called ____.
What is a tRNA?
200
That adenine always binds to thymine and guanine always binds to cytosine is called this.
What is complementary base pairing?
200
Enzyme that polymerizes daughter strand using DNA template.
What is DNA polymerase?
200
Enzyme involved in synthesizing mRNA.
What is RNA polymerase?
200
Complementary sequence on the ribosome that binds to mRNA.
What is the ribosomal binding site?
200
This process is called _____.
What is protein synthesis?
200
The two DNA strands run in opposite direction.
What is antiparallel?
200
Short, complementary RNA sequences that have to bind first before replication begins to know where replication begins.
What are primers?
200
Helper proteins that bind to the promoter region.
What are transcription factors?
200
Triplets of nucleotides.
What is a codon?
200
This is called _____.
What is the Genetic Code?
300
Antiparallel nature of DNA allows this to occur between nitrogenous bases.
What are hydrogen bonds?
300
Enzyme that cuts DNA to relieve strain caused by unwinding and pastes DNA back together after strain caused by twisting is relieved.
What is a topoisomerase?
300
Molecule that binds to RNA polymerase to help it bind to DNA.
What is a sigma factor?
300
AUG tells the cell where to begin constructing the protein.
What is a start codon?
300
This process is called ____.
What is translation?
400
The end of the DNA where the phosphate group is located.
What is the 5' end?
400
The energy to form phosphodiester linkage comes from the _______ of the two phosphate groups.
What is hydrolysis?
400
Sequence in promoter region that transcription factors bind to.
What is a TATA box?
400
The sequence on tRNA that is complementary to mRNA.
What is an anticodon?
400
This process is called ____.
What is DNA replication?
500
Where a new phosphate group binds.
What is the 3' end?
500
Short sections of DNA formed at the time of discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand during replication of DNA.
What are Okazaki Fragments?
500
Region where RNA polymerase falls off.
What is the terminator region?
500
Occurs in order for a protein to become fully functional.
What is post-translational modification?
500
Found in bacteria and plays a role in transcription.
