What are 2 steps to protein synthesis?
Transcription and Translation

I carry instructions from DNA to other parts of the cell (like out to the cytoplasm). Who am I ?
mRNA

RNA'S MAIN PURPOSE?
To synthesize protein

Mutation Nonsense?
a nonsense mutation in which a codon is changed to a premature stop codon that results in truncation of the resulting protein.

WHAT IS RNA POLYMERASE?
RNA polymerase, is an enzyme that produces primary transcript RNA. In cells, RNAP is necessary for constructing RNA chains using DNA genes as templates, a process called transcription

I build the protein sent from the copy that came from the DNA. Who am I?
rRNA
300
Which is more dominant inside of a cell? DNA or RNA
Rna

Silent mutations
Silent mutations are mutations in DNA that do not significantly alter the phenotype of the organism in which they occur.

What is the role of introns and externs in the transcription process?
Introns are edited pieces of the copied RNA. Exons are the left over cut pieces put back together to form RNA.
300
I bring in the specific type of material to build with called amino acids that are needed to build the protein. Who am I?
tRNA

Insertion Mutation?
an insertion mutation is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence

What is the genetic code? How is it read?
3 bases at a time. (AUG) (AAA

Name 1 difference between RNA AND DNA
Sugar Difference, Strand Difference RNA 1 DNA 2, RNA has uracil in stead of thymine which is found in DNA.

Deletion mutation?
deletion mutation is a mutation in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is lost during DNA replication.
