RNA
The transcript of a gene that codes for a protein
What is mRNA?
The four components necessary for transcription to occur
What is DNA, transcription factors, RNA polymerase, and rNTPs?
The tRNA molecule is missing this when it leaves the E compartment of the ribosome
What is an amino acid?
The RNA transcript sequence complementary to the following DNA noncodong sequence: TACAAG
What is AUGUUC?
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 RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of the transcription unit
What is transcription initiation?
Bond between the codons on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA
What are hydrogen bonds?
The amino acid sequence based on the following DNA template sequence: TGCGTA
What is Thr-His?
a mutation that causes a premature stop codon
What is a nonsense mutation?
Contains anticodons
What is tRNA?
Another name for the template strand
What is the non-coding strand?
Bond between amino acids
What are peptide bonds?
This section of the DNA codes for a protein
What is a gene (transcription unit)?
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?
The enzyme that catalyzes the process of translation
What are ribosomes?
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?
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?
Translation termination occurs when this binds to the stop codon on the mRNA
What are release factors?
This section of the DNA codes for an ncRNA
What is an RNA gene?
a mutation that can be caused by an indel of nucleotides in multiples of 1 or 2
What is a frameshift mutation?
