Big Ideas
DNA is located in the...
nucleus
This RNA makes up the structure of ribosomes.
Where in the cell does transcription occur?
nucleus
How many nitrogenous bases make up a codon?
3
What is the central dogma of biology?
DNA->RNA->Protein
This RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome.
tRNA
Where does translation occur?
ribosome (cytoplasm also accepted)
This part of mRNA codes for an amino acid.
codon
This process copies DNA into mRNA.
transcription
This RNA is a long strand copied from DNA.
mRNA
RNA can be found in these two parts of the cell.
1. nucleus
2. cytoplasm
What does a STOP codon do?
end translation (end protein synthesis)
This process reads mRNA to assemble amino acids into a protein.
translation
This part of tRNA matches with mRNA codons.
anticodon
This organelle is made of two subunits and is where proteins are built.
ribosome
Transcribe this DNA into mRNA:
TAC
AUG
Which RNA is found in the nucleus?
mRNA
Where in the cell does mRNA go after copying the DNA message in the nucleus?
cytoplasm
This is the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis.
Create amino acids and assemble them into proteins
Translate this mRNA into an amino acid:
AUG → ___
Methionine (Met)
