Protein Synthesis
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
Ribosome
The sugar that is part of DNA
deoxyribose
The sugar that is found in RNA
Ribose
The process of formation of RNA is known as___________
Transcription
Translation is the process where....
mRNA is decoded to form a protein
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
Transcription
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C A G T
U A A G C G U C A
What is the anti-codon
contains a sequence complementary to the codon
tRNA is involved in
carrying amino acids
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
transfer RNA
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
DNA Replication and Transcription
The full names for the three different types of RNA
messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA
Which RNA base would pair with TACGAA in transcription?
AUGCUU
What is the function of mRNA?
carries genetic message
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
codon
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil
The template DNA sequence is 3’AATCGC’5. Which of the following would be the complementary strand?
5’TTAGCG3’
Accuracy in the translation of mRNA into the primary structure of a polypeptide depends on specificity in the
bonding of the anticodon to the codon and the attachment of amino acids to tRNAs.
This is the anticodon for CAG
GUC
The reason why DNA replication happens.
pass on genetic information to other cells during cell division
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
-What is DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded
-RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose
After DNA is unzipped in the nucleus, this is the enzyme that binds to a specific section where an mRNA will be synthesized.
RNA Polymerase
If the sequence of an mRNA moving through the ribosome has the sequence AUGCCAGCGGAUCGC, what is the sequence of the polypeptide produced from translating this segment?
methionine-proline-alanine-aspartic acid-arginine
