Transcription
What is transcription?
Transcription is the process of the information of DNA is copied into a new molecule of MRNA
What is translation?
Translation is a process where a protein combines in formation in a molecule MRNA.
What is a Protein?
A protein is amino acids that are linked together to form a protein.
What is a codon?
A codon is a sequence of DNA or RNA that has a specific amino acid that describes the relationship between the sequence and DNA.
Where does transcription take place?
Transcription takes place in the nucleus
What are the three steps of translation?
The three steps are initiation,elongation and termination
There are two parts to Protein Synthesis,what are those two parts?
Translation and Transcription
Using a codon wheel,what amino acid is UUG?
UUG is leucine
How does transcription start?
Transcription starts with initiation.RNA polymerase binds to a sequence of DNA called the promoter, found near the beginning of a gene.
What does translation produce?
They produce peptides
What would this strand of gene AGT-CGT-AGC-CTG-CGG make
It would make TCA-GCA-TCG-GAC-GCC
How many bases are in a codon sequence?
There are 3 bases
How does transcription end?
Transcription ends in a process called termination. Termination depends on sequences in the RNA, which signal that the transcript is finished.
Where does translation occur?
It occurs in the ribosome
In MRNA we use U instead of t in the gene,what would these bases be in the sequence?
The bases would be AGU-CGU-AGC-CUG-CGG
Using the codon wheel what amino acid is AUG?
The amino acid for AUG is methionine
What does transcription produce?
Transcription is the process of producing a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA.
How does translation end?
Translation ends in a process called termination
What would the peptides be in this stand AGU-CGU-AGC-CUG-CGG?
They would be serine, arginine, serine, leucine, and arginine.
How many codons are in a codon wheel?
There are 64 different codons
