Transcription and Translation

        Help!  

Question
Answer
RNA polymerase   enzyme that catalyzes the transcription reaction  
🗑
promoter sequences determine what?   What, Where, and How Much the gene is transcribed  
🗑
Where do RNA polymerase and transcription factors bind to?   promoter region  
🗑
What bind a promoter?   RNA polymerase and transcription factors  
🗑
activators   increase transcription  
🗑
repressors   block transcription  
🗑
Describe Transcription   (blank)  
🗑
What does translation require?   tRNA, rRNA, mRNA, plus amnio acids and energy  
🗑
what is ribosome made of?   mostly of rRNA + small proteins  
🗑
are most enzyme proteins?   yes  
🗑
what is the catalyst for translation?   ribosome  
🗑
what does tRNA do?   bring amino acids to the ribosome  
🗑
anticodon   complementary to the codon on mRNA  
🗑
AUG   (initiation codon) marks the beginning of translation  
🗑
promoter   region of DNA where transcription is initiated  
🗑
explain elongation   tRNA goes to A site and its anticodon hooks to mRNA codon. Amino acid of tRNA in P site hooks on to 2nd tRNA; 1st tRNA unhooks and 2nd tRNA moves to P site  
🗑
dehydration   take monomer and make polymer  
🗑
explain termination   (blank)  
🗑
What are the stop codons?   UAA, UAG, UGA  
🗑
what are genes compose of?   exons and introns  
🗑
exons   nucleotides sequence that are transcribed and translated  
🗑
Introns   transcribed not translated  
🗑
What's the percent of gene that is not translated?   90%  
🗑
Does bacteria and mitochondria have introns?   no  
🗑
why do we need introns?   allow exons to mix and match for new functions.  
🗑
what are pre-mRNA composed of?   exons and introns  
🗑
Is 90% of a gene introns or extrons?   introns  
🗑
how can different combinations of exons generate different protein?   through alternative splicing  
🗑
3 things that are done to mRNA before it leaving the nucleus   1) splice introns (cut out) 2) put on 5' cap 3) 3' tail  
🗑
5'cap   help ribosomal subunit attach  
🗑
tail   protect RNA  
🗑


   

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.
