DNA Replication
These are added to a growing DNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction.
What are nucleotides?
This is the process in which a piece of DNA strand is translated into an RNA strand.
What is transcription?
The process of creating proteins from an mRNA template.
What is translation?
Introns are removed and exons are spliced together during this step.
What is mRNA processing?
What is the Central Dogma?
There are two different types of enzymes of this.
What is DNA polymerase?
This is required in the transcription initiation complex
What is RNA polymerase, promoter, and transcription factors?
The place where a new tRNA enters a ribosome
What is the Amino site?
The molecule that splices exons together
What is a splicesome?
The four nucleotides and their interaction.
What are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. Adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine.
The molecule that breaks DNA and rebinds it further up the chain from replication
What is topoisomerase?
The three steps of transcription.
What are initiation, elongation, and termination?
The molecule that binds tRNA to an amino acid
What is Aminacyl-tRNA synthetase
This is added to the mRNA.
What is a 5' cap?
An organism that has one copy of a dominant allele, and one copy of the recessive allele
What is heterozygous?
This is used to cut DNA into small fragments.
What is restriction enzyme?
This is a vital enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence.
What is RNA polymerase?
What amino acid would be produced given that the tRNA anticodon sequence reads UAC?
What is AUG - MET?
Molecule that recognizes splicing sites
Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs)
A group of genes linked by a single promoter that can be switched on and off
What is an operon?
The strand that is being replicated in the opposite direction of the helicase's direction of movement
What is the lagging strand?
In eukaryotic cells, transcription cannot start unless several transcription factors have bound to what?
What is the promoter?
The reason why wobble occurs
There aren't 64 different tRNA molecules
Process by which one coding region can code for different proteins
What is exon shuffling?
The most common allele of a trait in a population
What is the wild type?
