Name of monomers that make DNA and RNA
nucleotides
What are the two stages of protein synthesis?
transcription and translation
The location of transcription.
nucleus
The location of translation.
ribosome
A mutation where one base replaces another.
Point or substitution
What are the bases found in RNA?
A,U,C,G
A series of 3 bases on an mRNA strand that code for a specific amino acid.
codon
a gene
The codon is CGA, what is the anticodon found on tRNA?
GCU
The type of mutation seen here.
Original: ATCCGTACGTCA
Mutation: ATCGCGTACGTCA
Frameshift - insertion
One difference between DNA and RNA.
DNA: double stranded, cannot leave nucleus, ATCG, contains deoxyribose sugar
RNA: single stranded, can leave nucleus, AUCG, contains ribose sugar
The molecule that delivers the amino acid to the ribosome
tRNA
The end result of transcription.
mRNA
all three molecules of RNA required for translation
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
The possible effects (2) of the amino acid sequence from a point/substitution mutation in DNA.
No change in amino acid or a change in one amino acid
A change in the sequence of DNA.
mutation
Amino acid sequence for AUG CGA UAA.
MET ARG STOP
The mRNA sequence from this DNA template: ACGCGA
UGCGCU
Identify #1 and 4 in the image.

1 - ribosome
4 - mRNA
Type of mutation in the DNA:
Original: ACTAATCAGGCA
Mutated: ACTATCAGGCA
Frameshift deletion
functions to transfer the genetic code of DNA to site of protein synthesis
mRNA
The anticodon on the tRNA is GUA, what is the codon?
CAU
The enzyme that adds RNA bases to match the DNA template during transcription
RNA polymerase
Purpose of translation...final product?
to build a protein / polypeptide
join amino acids together in correct sequence
FINAL JEOPARDY: Transcribe and Translate the following DNA sequence: TAC GCT CCC AGC AUU
AUG CGA GGG UCG UAA
MET ARG GLY SER STOP
