Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
codon   a sequence of three mRNA nucleotides; these are read as a unit and code for a specific amino acid  
🗑
DNA sequence (genetic code)   (genetic code) refers to the arrangement of the four nitrogenous bases (A, T, C, and G) in a DNA double helix  
🗑
initiation   first step of the translation process, when a ribosome assembles at the AUG start codon on mRNA  
🗑
mRNA   formed by transcription; carries DNA's message from the nucleus to the cytoplasm  
🗑
promoter   specific DNA region where RNA polymerase begins opening up the double helix  
🗑
RNA polymerase   enzyme involved in transcription  
🗑
termination   end of translation of a polypeptide, when the ribosome reaches a stop codon; a release factor frees the polypeptide chain, and the ribosome disassembles  
🗑
transcription   the process by which a segment of DNA acts as a template for the formation of an RNA molecule (mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
