Question
Answer
Types of RNA   messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA  
🗑
mRNA   carry copies of instructions to assemble amino acids into proteins.  
🗑
rRNA   make up ribosomes  
🗑
tRNA   transfers each amino acid to the ribosome specified by the coded messages  
🗑
Transcription   RNA molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA.  
🗑
RNA polymerase   enzyme that transcription requires  
🗑
What happens in transcription?   RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands. Rna polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides assembled into a strand of RNA.  
🗑
Promoter   Where RNA polymerase binds to DNA. They have specific base sequences so that the enzyme knows where to start and stop transcribing.  
🗑
RNA editing   large pieces are cut out of RNA before they are ready to work.  
🗑
Intron   piece cut out of RNA molecules  
🗑
Exons   expressed sequences that aren't cut out. They are spliced together after the introns are cut out.  
🗑
U replaces ___ and binds to ___   T, A  
🗑
Codon   3 letter "word" of mRNA that tells which amino acid to add to the polypeptide chain.  
🗑
Translation   the decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain. The cell uses info from mRNA to produce proteins.  
🗑
Steps of translation   The transcribed mRNA attaches to a ribosome. Translation begins at AUG (start). Each tRNA molecule has a complementary codon. When the proper anticodon attaches, the amino acid it carries is added to the polypeptide. this continues until a stop codon.  
🗑
Anticodon   complementary codons to those on mRNA  
🗑
Mutations   changes in DNA sequence that affect genetic info.  
🗑
Gene mutations   changes in a signle gene. Include point mutations (substituting one for another) and frameshift mutations (one is taken out or added, affecting every amino acid in the polypeptide)  
🗑
Chromosomal mutations   change in structure of chromosome. Includes deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation.  
🗑
How are eukaryotic genes controlled?   Individually and have regulatory sequences.  
🗑
TATA box   helps position RNA polymerase by marking a point just before where translation begins.  
🗑
Operon   group of genes that operate together.  
🗑
Enhancer sequences   regulate genes, lots of proteins can bind to them. The proteins can enhance translation by opening tightly packed chromatin, attracting RNA polymerase, or block access like repressors do.  
🗑
Cell specialization also requires   genetic specialization. Genes made for some cells don't need to be expressed in cells of other body parts.  
🗑
Hox genes   genes embryos have that control the organs and tissues that develop in various parts of the embryo. they control the basic body plan. Mutations in them can completely change organs.  
🗑


   

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.
