Growing Up
This must be added to the begining of an RNA message before translation.
What is a 5'cap?
Place where transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
The organelle that performs translation
What are ribosomes?
A codon has this many nucleotides
What is 3?
The location that pre-mRNA matures into mRNA.
What is the nucleus?
This is the product of transcription
What is pre-mRNA?
Translation can take place in these two areas of the cell.
What are the cytoplasm and the rough ER?
This process produces RNA using a DNA sequence.
What is transcription?
This needs to be cut out of the message before it can be mature.
What is an intron?
This molecule contains the anti-codon
What is tRNA or transfer RNA?
This process use RNA to produce a protein.
What is translation?
This sequence is found at the tail end of a mature mRNA.
What is AAAAAA or a polyA tail?
The mRNA sequence for a template strand with the code A T C G.
What is U A G C?
This molecule carries the information from the nucleus to the ribosome?
What is mRNA or messengerRNA?
This is the purpose of a tRNA.
What is to transfer the correct amino acids to the ribosome?
Is it better to delete an entire codon or a single nucleotide?
What is an entire codon?
If you connect these pieces of RNA they code for a functional protein.
What are exons?
The name of the enzyme that copies the segment of DNA onto mRNA.
What is RNA polymerase?
When a ribosome encounters one of these, it disassembles the ribosome and releases the polypeptide.
What is a stop codon?
All messages begin and end with these.
What are start and stop codons?
What is a silent mutation?
