Protein synthesis, DNA, and RNA
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transcription is the creation of: | RNA |
| RNA is produced from DNA through: | Transcrition |
| Step 1: RNA ____ binds to a promoter; a specific sequence of DNA that signals the start of transcription. | Polymerase |
| Step 2: RNA polymerase unzips and unwinds the DNA and separates the _____ _____, exposing the nucleotides. | Hydrogen bonds |
| Step 3: RNA polymerase ____ and then links complementary RNA ______ as it reads the genes. | Adds; nucleotides |
| Step 4: RNA polymerase proceeds until it reaches a ____ ____ on DNA, and then it detaches. | Stop signal |
| All ___ types of RNA are made this way. | 3 |
| DNA is used as a _____ to make RNA. | Template |
| Three RNA bases combined make up a ____. | Codon |
| DNA goes with ___; RNA goes with ____. | Codes; codons |
| ___ possible codons. | 64 |
| The are ____ than one codon per amino acid. | More |
| Three of the 64 codons are ____ ____. | Stop signals |
| Methionine (AUG) is the universal ____. | Start |
| There are 3 stops, including: | UAA, UAG, & UGA |
| Translation is the assembling of ____. | Proteins |
| Step 1: mRNA moves out of the nucleus, through the nuclear pores, and into the _____. | Cytoplasm |
| Step 2: mRNA and tRNA form a ____. | Ribosome |
| Step 3: tRNA (____) carries amino acids to mRNA | Anticodons |
| ___ amino acid per tRNA. | 1 |
| Step 4: It reads until it reaches at ____ ____. | Stop code |
| Step 5: ____ is released into the cell. | Protein |
| It takes ___ bases to pick up an amino acid. | 3 |
| Protein synthesis is: | Translation |
| The ___ molecule unzips at the hydrogen bonds. | DNA |
| What type of RNA picks up amino acids? | tRNA |
| Code | DNA |
| Codon | mRNA |
| Antocodon | tRNA |
| Sequences always start with ___. | AUG |
| Step 1 of writing part: | DNA strand is given. (Ex: GTA) |
| Step 2 of writing part: | Find the opposite mRNA codons (using U, not T)(Ex: GTA - CAU) |
| Step 3 of writing part: | Find the amino acid sequence (actual name of mRNA acid using chart)(Ex: CAU = histidine) |
| Step 4 of writing part: | Find the tRNA anticodons (These are the same as the DNA strand given, but the T's are replaced with U's) |
| In RNA, ____ is replaced with ____. | Thymine; uracil |
