| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mrna | messenger |
| rRna | ribosmal |
| tRna | transfer |
| where is the translation | ribosome |
| What is the "Central Dogma" of biology? | T The flow of genetic information: DNA - RNA -Protein. |
| What is the simple definition of Protein Synthesis? | The process of making proteins. |
| What are the two main steps of Protein Synthesis? | . Transcription and 2. Translation. |
| Where does Transcription occur? | In the Nucleus. |
| What is the main goal of Transcription? | To make an mRNA copy of a DNA strand so the instructions can leave the nucleus. |
| Which enzyme is responsible for using DNA as a template to make mRNA? | RNA Polymerase. |
| What is a "Codon"? | A sequence of 3 letters (bases) on an mRNA strand that codes for a specific amino acid |
| What are the three types of RNA involved in translation? | 1. mRNA (messenger): Carries the DNA message. 2. rRNA (ribosomal): Makes up the ribosome. 3. tRNA (transfer): Matches anti-codons to mRNA to bring the correct amino acid. |
| What is the final product of Translation? | A chain of amino acids that forms a Protein. |
| If a codon on mRNA is G-C-U, what amino acid does it code for? | Alanine. |
| What part of the tRNA molecule matches up with the mRNA codon? | The Anti-codon. |
