| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Protein Synthesis | the making of protein from instructions in DNA |
| Central Dogma | information is transfer from DNA to RNA to protein |
| What are the two steps for Central Dogma? | 1.Transcription 2.Translation |
| Transcription | strands of DNA serve as the template for RNA |
| Translation | occurs at the ribosomes, which use mRNA as a template to assemble amino acids |
| Codons | a group of three bases in the mRNA sequence |
| Anti-codons | a tRNA attached to an amino acid |
| Where is DNA located? | nucleus |
| Where is mRNA located? | out into the cell |
| mRNA | carries instructions for polypeptide synthesis from nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm |
| tRNA | carries amino acids to the ribosomes and matches them to the coded mRNA message |
| What type of sugar does RNA have? | ribose |
| What type of sugar does DNA have? | deoxyribose |
| RNA is single strand or double? | single |
| DNA is single strand or double? | double |
| Uracil is only in? | RNA |
| Thymine is only in? | DNA |
| Is Adenine in DNA or RNA? | both |
| Is Cytosine in DNA or RNA? | both |
| Is Guanine in DNA or RNA? | both |
| What is the process to get an protein? | DNA-Transcription-mRNA-Translation-Protein |
| How many codons do you need to get three amino acids? | 3 pairs of codons |
| RNA Polymerase | enzyme that link together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription using a DNA strand as a template |
| Promoters | regions of DNA that have specific base sequence |
| Ribosomal RNA | forms an important part of both subunits of the ribosomes |
