RNA
The transcript of a gene that codes for a protein
What is mRNA?
The four components necessary for transcription to occur
What is the mRNA, transcription factors, RNA polymerase, and rNTPs?
The tRNA molecule is missing this when it leaves the ribosome
What is an amino acid?
This section of the DNA codes for a protein
What is a gene (transcription unit)?
if a nucleotide or nucleotides are added or removed from a sequence
What are indels?
Contains codons
What is mRNA?
The stage of transcription during which the DNA strands begin to be separated
What is transcription initiation?
The site where tRNA's enter the ribosome during elongation
What is the A site?
This area of the DNA does not contain genes that are expressed as proteins
What is noncoding DNA (ncDNA)?
a mutation that causes a change in the amino acid sequence
What is a missense mutation?
Contains anticodons
What is tRNA?
Another name for the template strand
What is the non-coding strand?
Bond between amino acids
What is a peptide bond?
This section of the DNA codes for an ncRNA
What is an RNA gene?
a mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence
What is a silent mutation?
Part of an RNA-protein complex that is directly involved in translation
What is rRNA?
The sections of pre-mRNA that are removed after transcription is complete
What are introns?
Translation termination occurs when this is reached on the mRNA
What is a stop codon?
The RNA transcript sequence complementary to the following DNA noncodong sequence: TACAAG
What is AUGUUC?
a mutation that causes a premature stop codon
What is a nonsense mutation?
The transcript of a gene that is not translated into protein
What is noncoding RNA (ncRNA)?
Two components added to the pre-mRNA after transcription is complete
What are the 5-prime cap and poly-A tail?
The three components that must bind to the mRNA to complete translation initiation
What is the large ribosomal subunit, the small ribosomal subunit, and the first tRNA?
The amino acid sequence based on the following DNA template sequence: TGCGTA
What is the sequence Threonine - Histodine?
a mutation that can be caused by an indel of nucleotides in multiples of 1 or 2
What is a frameshift mutation?
