Transciption
The process by which genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA, is called what?
What is transcription.
Ribosomes are made up of these molecules
What is rRNA and proteins?
These are the three parts of DNA nucleotides
What is deoxyribose, phosphate group, and nitrogen base.
This is the start codon
What is AUG
These are the three types of RNA
What is rRNA (Ribosomal), tRNA (Transfer), mRNA (Messenger).
What are the products of transcription
What are RNA molecules.
This is an RNA molecule which contains the anti-codon
What is tRNA?
These are the four nitrogen-containing bases found in DNA nucleotides?
What are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
This is one stop codon or termination signal?
What is UAA, UAG, or UGA
In eukaryotes, mRNA will get this cap
What is a GTP cap
This is the type of RNA molecule which is made that contains codons
What is mRNA?
These are the 3 pockets or sites in a ribosome.
What are the E, P, and A sites
This is the description of a double helix:
What is two nucleotide chains that wrap around each other to form a double spiral.
This is complementary and pairs with a corresponding mRNA codon
What is the tRNA anti-codon.
What is the protective tail mRNA gets in eukaryotes
What is the poly-A tail
This is the DNA strand which is NOT used to build the RNA molecule in transcription
What is the coding strand?
This is the first site in the ribosome that a tRNA molecule will enter
What is the P site?
These bonds join the sugars and phosphate of the DNA molecule
What are phosphodiester bonds?
What is the name of each combination of three mRNA nucleotides?
What is codon.
What is the name of a nitrogen-containing pyrimidine based, that usually replaces thymine in RNA?
What is Uracil
This is the enzyme which does translation
What is RNA polymerase?
What is the first amino acid which will be brought in to form a polypeptide chain?
What is methionine?
These are three ways the structure of RNA differs from the structure of DNA
What is 1) the RNA sugar is ribose and the DNA sugar is deoxyribose, 2) RNA has the nitrogen containing base uracil instead of Thymine which is found in DNA, 3) RNA is single stranded and DNA is double stranded
True or false:
These are multiple codes or codons for any given amino acid except for methionine
What is true
True or false:
Transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously in prokaryotes
What is true?
