Question | Answer |
---|---|
gene | A region of DNA that contains the code to make a protein or RNA |
Central Dogma of gene expression | Information flow DNA-RNA-Protein |
codon | Three consecutive nucleotides in mRNA that specify the insertion of an amino acid or the release of a polypeptide chain during translation |
Messenger RNA | provides “message” |
Ribosomal RNA | provides “meeting place” |
Transfer RNA | does translation |
transcription take place | Nucleus |
the final product of transcription | mRNA |
enzyme adds RNA nucleotides to create mRNA | 5’ cap, poly (A) tail are added to the end |
Adenine - RNA | uracil |
Thymine - RNA | Adenine |
Guanine - RNA | cytosine |
Cytosine - RNA | guanine |
strand is transcribed to make mRNA | template strand |
Introns | non–protein-coding intervening sequences that are spliced from mRNA during processing |
Exons | sequence present in protein-coding mRNA after completion of pre-mRNA splicing |
translation take place | In the ribosome |
final product of translation | Amino acid sequence |
Small ribosomal | The binding and reading of mRNA during translation |
Large ribosomal | Binds mRNA and mediates the interaction between mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons |
codons be found | mRNA |
anti-codons be found | at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule |
relationship between a codon and an anti-codon | are complementary to each other |
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase | It attaches an amino acid to tRNA with the help of an enzyme |
Initiation | mRNA attaches to ribosome, tRNA finds start codon |
Elongation | Codon recognition, Peptide bond formation, Translocation |
Termination | When stop codons are recognized, ribosomes break apart |
20 amino acids | 64 codons |
point mutation | Chemical change in just one base pair of a gene |
Physical | Radiation |
Chemical | toxins |
base insertions or deletions tend to have a larger effect than base substitutions | They cause too much of a genetic change which can be harmful for the individual |
Deletions | Part of chromosome is last |
Duplications | Part of chromosome is copied |
Inversions | Part of chromosome in reverse order |
Translocations | Part of chromosome is moved to a new location |
