Protein Synthesis
Covers Unit 6: Protein Synthesis & Mutations
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Central Dogma? | the pathway or flow of genetic information DNA > transcription > mRNA > translation > protein |
| Where does transcription take place? | NUCLEUS! |
| Where does translation take place? | RIBOSOMES |
| Transcribe the DNA strand: AAG TCA | UUC AGU |
| What are the steps for transcription? | 1. DNA is unzipped. 2. mRNA transcribes DNA instructions. 3. mRNA leaves the nucleus to the ribosome. |
| What is transcription? | DNA > mRNA |
| What is translation? | mRNA > protein |
| Give 3 ways RNA is different than DNA. | - RNA is single-stranded - RNA can leave the nucleus - RNA's sugar is ribose - RNA is located in the nucleus AND cytoplasm |
| Name one thing proteins play a part in... | - strengthening the immune system - cell transport - hormonal responses - bodily movement - building tissue / muscle |
| Transcribe the DNA strand: CTA GAT | GAU CUA |
| Transcribe the DNA strand: GCT ATA | CGA UAU |
| A group of 3 nucleotides found on mRNA is called a... | CODON |
| A group of 3 nucleotides found on DNA is called a... | TRIPLET |
| A group of 3 bases found on tRNA is called an... | ANTICODON |
