Misc.
This is another name for a nucleotide sequence that codes for a functional RNA or Protein Model
What is a gene?
This type of RNA is responsible for pre-mRNA splicing.
What is Small Nuclear RNA (snRNA)?
This enzyme unwinds the DNA helix near the start site to initiate transcription.
What is RNA Polymerase?
Splicing is defined as the removal of these non-coding sequences by the spliceosome.
What are introns?
Translation is defined as the synthesis of these molecules.
What are proteins?
This enzyme adds nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction, requires a single-stranded DNA template, and does not require a primer.
What is RNA Polymerase?
This type of RNA codes for protein.
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
Once this forms, elongation begins.
What is the transcription bubble?
This process alows for a single primary transcript to produce different proteins from a single gene via inclusion of different sets of exons and is the reason that the 20,000 genes in the human genome can code for 80,000 different RNAs.
What is alternative splicing?
Translation proceeds from _-terminus to the _-terminus
What is N to C terminus?
The 3' poly-A tail and the 5' cap both serve this purpose?
What is to protect from degradation?
This type of RNA is responsible for post-transcriptional gene expression regulation.
This complex initiates transcription by recognizing the promoter and positioning RNA Polymerase upstream.
What is the sigma (σ) subunit?
The ribosomes consists of two subunits: the small, which decodes mRNA, and the large, which does this.
UTR is short for this.
What is untranslated region?
DNA -> RNA -> is considered to be this two-word phrase for the guiding principle of biology.
What is the central dogma?
This type of RNA is responsible for catalyzing peptide bonds and makes up many its namesake organelle's components.
What is ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
In E. colo, termination of transcription is signaled by RNA base pairing with itself, creating this structure, named for its shape, which disrupts DNA/RNA/RNA polymerase interaction.
What is a hairpin?
This type of mutation involves the addition or deletion of a base.
What is a frameshift mutation?
Eukaryotic mRNA contains this many coding sequences.
What is one?
Relaxed GU pairing which does not follow the Watson and Crick model is also known as this.
What is wobble?
This type of RNA acts as an adaptor between mRNA and amino acids.
Eukaryotic transcription contrasts with Prokaryotic transcription in several ways: the promoter position/sequence differs, transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell, termination sites are not well defined, primary transcripts are processed to produce mature mRNA, and 3 different RNA polymerases are utilized, such as this one that transcribes mRNA.
What is RNA Polymerase II?
The spliceosome is formed from various proteins and these particles, often named U followed by a number (ex: U7).
What are Smal Ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs)?
Name the three ribosomal binding sites in order.
What are E (exit), P (peptidyl), and A (aminoacyl)?
