Protein synthesis.
Part 1: Transcription
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a codon? | A codon is a three-base sequence in messanger RNA that causes the insertion of a particular amino acid into a protein or termination of translation. |
| What is DNA sequence? | DNA sequence is |
| What is initiation? | Initiation is when mRNA binds to the 2 ribosome sub units. |
| What is mRNA? | mRNA is ribonucleic acid whose sequence of codons specifies the sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis. |
| What is a promotor? | A promotor is an operon, a sequence of DNA where RNA polymerase binds prior to transcription. |
| What is RNA polymerase? | RNA polymerase during transcription, is an enzyme that joins nucleotides complementary to a portion of DNA. |
| What is termination? | Termination is |
| What is transcription? | Transcription is the process resulting in the production of a strand of mRNA that is complementary to a segment of DNA. |
