notes on transcription + translation

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
polypeptide   string of amino acids  
🗑
proteins   made up of amino acids; assembled on a ribosome  
🗑
DNA replication   DNA double helix unwinds, becomes single-stranded, new strand forms using A-T, C-G, used to prepare for cell division, whole genome copied or replicated  
🗑
DNA   double stranded, deoxyribose sugar, bases = C, G, A, T  
🗑
RNA   single stranded, ribose sugar, bases = C, G, A, U  
🗑
transcription   RNA forms base pairs with DNA  
🗑
primary transcript   length of RNA that results from the process of transcription  
🗑
mRNA   type of RNA that encodes information for the synthesis of proteins and carries it to a ribosome from the nucleus  
🗑
RNA polymerase   complex of enzymes with 2 functions, unwind DNA sequence and produce primary transcript by stringing together the chain of RNA nucleotides  
🗑
exons   coding regions  
🗑
introns   non-coding regions  
🗑
translation   second stage of protein production; mRNA on a ribosome; tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome  
🗑
tRNA   transfer RNA; bound to 1 end anticodon on the other end complements mRNA codon  
🗑
tRNA function   amino acids must be in the correct order for the protein to function correctly; tRNA lines up amino acids using mRNA code  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
