| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transcription | make an mRNA strand with a "message" from the DNA |
| Where does transcription happen? | nucleus |
| What unzips the DNA? | enzyme |
| What does RNA use instead of thymine (T)? | U |
| After the mRNA leaves the nucleus it goes to the... | ribosome |
| Translation | the ribosomes converts the mRNA message into a polypeptide (protein) |
| Where does translation happen? | cytoplasm-ribosomes |
| What does the mRNA attach to? | ribosome |
| The ribosomes _______ the mRNA | reads |
| How does the ribosome read mRNA | 3 bases= codon |
| Each codon is a code for a certain ______ | amino acid |
| A _______ molecule comes along with the right _________ to match the codon. | tRNA/ anticodon |
| What does tRNA do? | carries amino acids and link them together with peptide bonds to make a protein |
| Is mRNA synthesized in translation or transcription? | transcription |
| mRNA has codons or anti-codons? | codon |
| 1 or 3 codons equal one amino acids? | 3 |
| tRNA brings amino acids to the nucleus or ribosome? | ribosomes |
| A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids? | amino acids |
| tRNA transfers amino acids during translation or transcription? | translation |
