Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are proteins made of? | Amino acids |
How many different types of amino acids are there? | 20 |
What is protein synthesis? | The process in which a cell makes portions based on the message contained within its DNA. |
where is DNA located? | Nucleus |
Where are proteins made? | Ribosomes |
What does 3 bases of code make? | A codon |
When the bases of code build up and form a long chain- what is that called? | A protein |
Where does transcription take place? | In the nucleus |
What is transcription? | The genetic information from a strand of DNA is copied into a strand of mRNA |
Why does transcription take place in the nucleus? | DNA is located in the nucleus |
Why does a cell need to carry out transcription in order to make a protein? | SO the exact genetic information is copied into a strand of mRNA, which is the MESSENGER that carries out the information so a protein cane be made. |
During transcription- what does RNA polymerase do? | Separates into two strands of DNA double helix and uses a gene in one DNA strand as a guide to make mRNA. |
What does mRNA do? | carries code from the DNA in nucleus to where protein synthesis occurs- the ribosomes. |
What does tRNA do? | has anticodon for mRNA to bind to to make code. |
