Transcription
How many genes are transcribed at once?
Only 1
How does RNA go from the nucleus into the cytoplasm?
Through a nuclear pore
What is the central dogma?
DNA to mRNA to Proteins
mRNA: CAU amino acid: ?
Histidine
What is a mutation?
A change in DNA
What is the end goal of transcription?
"To copy" a gene, will result in mRNA
Where does translation take place?
In what molecule would you find the sugar Ribose?
RNA
mRNA: CAG amino acid: ?
Glutamine
Point mutations and frameshift mutations are both examples of this category of mutations
Gene mutations
Where does transcription begin?
Promoter
What is the name of the bond that forms between amino acids in translation?
Peptide bond
What is the definition of protein synthesis?
Process to build proteins
What are the 3 stop codons?
UAA UAG UGA
How does a frameshift mutation change the reading frame of codons?
By adding or deleting a nitrogen base.
Where does transcription take place? Hint: Location in the cell
Nucleus
What is the job of tRNA?
Carry the correct amino acids to the building amino acid strand
What is the job of rRNA?
forms ribosomes where translation occurs
DNA: TAT amino acid: ?
Isoleucine
What changes in a point mutation?
One nitrogen base
What enzyme(s) unzips DNA and lines up RNA bases?
RNA polymerase
What happens to mRNA after translation is completed?
Complimentary nucleotide bases to an mRNA codon
trna: UGA amino acid: ?
Threonine
What would happen if there was no start codon or no stop codon due to a mutation?
No protein would be made.
