Transcription
What is transcription?
Transcription is the process of the information of DNA is copied into a new molecule of MRNA
What is translation?
Translation is a process where a protein combines in formation in a molecule MRNA.
What is a Protein?
A protein is a string of amino acids.
How many nucleotides contribute to a codon?
Three
Where does transcription take place?
Transcription takes place in the nucleus
What organelle helps to build proteins?
Ribosomes
How many types of RNA contribute to protein synthesis?
Three
Using a codon wheel,what amino acid is UUG?
UUG is leucine
What is the enzyme used in transcription to build the RNA molecule?
RNA Polymerase
What does translation produce?
It produces proteins.
What type of RNA makes up part of the ribosome?
rRNA
What would a codon for leucine be?
UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, or CUG.
What would the complementary RNA strand be for DNA strand:
ATTGCA
UAACGU
Where does translation occur (not ribosome)?
It occurs in the cytoplasm
What type of RNA is used to carry amino acids to the ribosome?
tRNA
Using the codon wheel what amino acid is AUG?
The amino acid for AUG is methionine
What does transcription produce?
Transcription is the process of producing a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA.
What would UAA mean to a ribosome building a protein?
To stop.
What type of RNA is used to take information from DNA to the ribosome?
mRNA
How many codons are in a codon wheel?
There are 64 different codons
