The enzyme that is used to unwind DNA's double strand structure
What is Helicase?
The location translation occurs
A DNA element/sequence that increases the rate of transcription.
What is the enhancer sequence?
rRNA
the shape of chromosomes in a prokaryotic cell.
What is circular chromosome?
What is DNA replication
What is the 3 letter code for a start codon
AUG (alright U good)
The noncoding region of the mRNA that is removed prior to transport out of the nucleus
What are introns?
RNA that carries DNA information out of the nucleus.
mRNA
tRNA synthetase adds Met to the 3' end of tRNA which is then subsequently _____
What is formylated? (fMet-tRNA)
What is the Single Stranded Binding protein (SSB)?
The redundance in codons allows for this kind of pairing
The transcription factor that binds to the promoter site then recruits RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter.
What is TFIID (transcription factor IID)
the process that allows a single gene to produce multiple different mRNA transcripts.
What is alternative splicing?
The section of RNA polymerase that binds to DNA template strand at the promoter sequence.
What is the sigma subunit?
The enzyme that synthesizes the RNA primer.
What is primase?
The enzyme that charges (attaches) an amino acid to tRNA
What is aminoacyl tRNA synthetase
The enzyme needed for chromatin modification, relaxing the chromatin structure to aid in transcription.
What is histone acetyltransferases (HATs)
regulation of gene expression at the RNA level, thus inhibiting protein synthesis, is caused by this RNA
miRNA (micro RNA)
an mRNA that carries multiple protein codes.
What is polycistronic?
The step in the cell cycle that DNA replication occurs.
What is Synthesis (S)?
The 3 stop codons for translation (must name all 3 for points)
UAA, UGA, UAG
the direction RNA is synthesized
what is 5' to 3'
The enzyme responsible for synthesizing tRNA
What is RNA Polymerase 3?
a protein with helicase activity that separates nascent RNA from DNA template strand not found in eukaryotes
What is rho?
