DNA strand where DNA synthesis is discontinuous

What is the Lagging Strand?

300

Enzymes that carry out DNA transcription.

What are RNA polymerases? 

300

The additional enzyme that helps tRNA in the translation of mRNA into protein.

What is aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase?

300

Associates with nascent peptides to ensure they get folded correctly.

What are molecular chaperones?

400

NHEJ and HR are the two major pathways for this type of DNA break.

What are the pathways that repair double-strand DNA breaks?

400

capping, splicing, and polyadenylation.

What are the three major processing events for mRNA?
400

This is where the incorrect amino acid will go to be removed by the tRNA synthetase complez.

What is the editing site?

400

Diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease occur as a result.

What is the accumulation of misfolded proteins?

500

Type of virus that is capable of reversing the usual flow of genetic information.

500

Proteins subunits and snRNPs that are made up snRNAs like U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 make up this large RNA and protein molecular machine.

What makes up spliceosomes ?

500

Peptidyl t-RNA attaches here at the growing peptide chain.

What is the C-terminus?

500

An important function of a chaperone molecule to give the protein time to be synthesized in an energetically favorable way.

What is shielding hydrophobic amino acids from exposure?
