Transcription
The product of transcription
What is mRNA?
The place in a cell where translation happens
What is ribosome?
Which type of RNA is synthesized during transcription?
mRNA
How many nucleotides make up a codon?
3
In what direction does the template/antisense strand of DNA run?
3' to 5'
The primary enzyme responsible for transcription
What is RNA polymerase?
Main components required for translation
What are tRNA, amino acids, mRNA, ribosome?
What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?
mRNA has codons and codes for amino acids. tRNA has anticodons and bring amino acids coded by mRNA.
What is the universal start codon?
AUG
If the DNA sense strand is 5'-ATGGCATCCGTA-3', then what is the sequence of the antisense strand?
3'-TACCGTAGGCAT-5'
The role of RNA polymerase in transcription
What is synthesizing mRNA?
The product of translation
What is protein?
Which type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?
tRNA
How many stop codons are there?
3
What is the full name of RNA?
Ribonucleic acid
The place that transcription occurs in a eukaryotic/prokaryotic cell
What is nucleus/cytoplasm?
The bond created between amino acids
The role of tRNA in translation
What is attaching and bringing amino acids together?
Can a single amino acid be coded for by multiple codons?
Yes
What complementary base does the nitrogen base Adenine bond with in RNA? State the full name.
Uracil
The DNA strand that serves as the template for transcription
What is the anti-sense/template strand?
The start codon in mRNA and its amino acid
What is AUG and Methionine (Met)?
What strand of DNA is tRNA complementary to?
The sense strand
The difference between a codon and an anticodon
Codons are on mRNA and code for amino acids.
Anticodons are on tRNA and are complementary to codons.
If a DNA sense strand turns from 5'-ATGCCCTAGCGCTGA-3' to 5'-ATGCCCTAACGCTGA-3', what kind of mutation is this?
Point mutation and nonsense mutation
