| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chromatin | Type of DNA, Complex of DNA and proteins, less folded, uncondensed, partially unwound |
| Chromosome | Type of DNA, Complex of DNA and proteins, most toghtly packed, condensed in mitosis and meiosis |
| Nucleosome | DNA wrapped around core of proteins to form |
| A is the promoter | Region that controls when, where DNA is transcribed into RNA, in front of coding region |
| B-F Coding region | part of gene that’s transcribed into RNA and then translated into protein |
| B, D, F Exons | Regions that code for amino acids |
| G Termination Signal | Sequence of DNA that tells RNA Polymerase to stop making RNA |
| mRNA (Messenger RNA) | Codes for amino acids in proteins |
| rRNA | Structural part of a ribosome |
| Ribosome | Organelle, but it has a structural rrna as part of the ribosome |
| Trna(Transfer RNA) | Brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis |
| Template Strand | strand of DNA copied into RNA |
| Coding strand | Strand of DNA that has same sequence as RNA |
| Transcription | makes a pre-mRNA (exons + introns) |
| RNA Splicing | Removes introns, makes mature mRNA |
| Cap | 7 Methyl-G cap, added after transcription starts, before RNA synthesis is completed |
| Termination Signal | Sequence in DNA, Makes RNA synthesis stop |
| SnRPS | (RNA-protein particle) and other proteins bind to the intron |
| Ribosome | Organelles where protein synthesis occurs, made of rrna and proteins |
| Codon | Group of 3 nucleotides |
