DNA and Protein

Transcription and Translation

QuestionAnswer
What is a gene? Entire nucleic acid sequence that controls the synthesis of a polypeptide or a functional RNA molecule
Describe the three steps of transcription 1. Initiation: RNA polymerase binds upstream at the promoter. Binding is aided by transcription factors. 2. Elongation: RNA polymerase uses nucleotide triphosphates to copy DNA strands using complementary base pairing. 3. Termination
Describe four steps which are necessary to prepare a newly synthesised mRNA molecule for translation 5' capping, RNA splicng, 3' polyadenylation, export
What does redundancy in the genetic code mean? First two bases of codon are usually the same
What is meant by a wobble? The first two bases of the codon bind tightly and the third is weakly bonded/ does not necessarily have to match
How are protein concentrations regulated? By regulating frequency protein is transcribed, how long mRNA lasts for, frequency mRNA is TRANSLATED and how long protein lasts before degradation

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
