| Answer |
|
|
| genome |
The entire gene sequence of an organism. |
| termination signal |
The sequence that tells RNA polymerase that the gene for the protein is complete. |
| genetic code |
Rules for how the sequence of bases must be put together to create a particular protein. |
| codon |
Three letter sequence on mRNA. |
| anticodon |
Three letter sequence on tRNA. |
| mRNA |
Takes the code from the nucleus to the ribosomes. |
| tRNA |
Brings the correct amino acid in to the ribosome as it matches the mRNA codon. |
| rRNA |
’Spot-Welds’ the amino acids together. |
| RNA polymerase |
The enzyme of transcription. |
| protein synthesis |
Transcription and translation equals this... |
| ribose |
The sugar of RNA |
| promoter |
Tells RNA polymerase where to start transcribing a gene for a protein. |
| transcription |
This process occurs in the nucleus with DNA and mRNA. |
| translation |
This process occurs in the ribosome with rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA. |
| RNA-ribonucleic acid |
A nucleic acid that is single stranded and has uracil instead of thymine. |
