RNA
A single-stranded nucleic acid that passes along genetic messages
RNA
This is the building block of a protein
amino acid
The two primary stages of protein synthesis are
Transcription and translation
a molecule of mRNA is read in 3 nucleotide sequences in a process that results in the building of a poly-peptide chain. This process is called
Translation
The first step in translation is that the mRNA molecule binds with the ribosome. What is the next step?
A tRNA molecule enters the ribosome and binds to the mRNA strand
The form of RNA that carries each amino acid to the ribsome to form the polypeptide chain (protein) It also has the Anti-Codon.
tRNA
The function that a protein caries out is dependent on this
The shape of the protein
The location where transcription takes place
The nucleus
The three nucleotide sequence on the mRNA strand that the genetic code is written in
codon
One tRNA molecule is bound to the mRNA stand in the ribosome, what happens next?
a second tRNA molecule binds to the mRNA strand next to the first
The type of RNA that ribosomes are made of
rRNA
The shape of a protein is dependent on this
The order of amino acids used to build the protein
The location where translation takes place
ribosome or cytoplasm
The molecule that carries an amino acid to the ribosome
tRNA
2 tRNA molecules are bound the the mRNA strand in the ribosome each carrying an amino acid. What happens next?
the two adjacent amino acids form a peptide bond
RNA molecule that carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins from DNA to the rest of the cell
mRNA
This is the type of bond that holds amino acids together
a peptide bond
The enzyme that carries out transcription in the nucleus
RNA Polymerase
The three nucleotide sequence on the bottom of the tRNA molecule that associates with the nucleotides on the mRNA molecule
anti-codon
2 tRNA molecules are bound the an mRNA strand and the amino acids have just formed a peptide bond, beginning a chain forming on the second tRNA molecule. What happens next?
the first tRNA molecule detaches from the mRNA strand
In RNA, this nucleotide is used instead of Thymine
Uracil
Another name for a chain of amino acids
peptide chain
A DNA strand is unzipped in the nucleus and one side is copied to make a single stranded RNA molecule. This process is called
Transcription
when 2 tRNA molecules are situated next to each other on the mRNA stand in the ribosome, what is the next step in protein synthesis
a peptide bond forms between the amino acids carried by the two tRNA molecules
The first tRNA has detached from the mRNA stand and the second tRNA molecule as well as the mRNA strand shift over in the ribosome. What happens next
a third tRNA binds to the next location on the mRNA strand
