|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ribonucleic Acid | RNA; A natural polymer that is present in a ll living cells and that plays a role in protein synthesis
🗑
|
||||
| Transcription | The process of forming a nucleic acid by using another molecule as a template; particularly the process of synthesizing RNA by using one strand of DNA molecule as a template
🗑
|
||||
| Translation | The portion of protein synthesis that takes place at ribosomes
🗑
|
||||
| Protein Synthesis | The formation of proteins by using information contained in DNA and carried by mRNA
🗑
|
||||
| Ribose | A five-carbon sugar present in RNA
🗑
|
||||
| Messenger RNA (mRNA) | A single-stranded RNA molecule that encodes the information to make a protein
🗑
|
||||
| Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) | An organelle that contains most of the RNA in the cell and that is responsible for ribosome function
🗑
|
||||
| Transfer RNA (tRNA) | an RNA molecule that transfers amino acids to the growing end of a polypeptide chain during translation
🗑
|
||||
| RNA Polymerase | An enzyme that starts (catalyzes) the formation of a DNA molecule as a template
🗑
|
||||
| Promoter | A nucleotide sequence on a DNA molecule to which an RNA polymerase molecule binds, which initiates the transcription of a specific gene
🗑
|
||||
| Termination Signal | A specific sequence of nucleotides that marks the end of a gene
🗑
|
||||
| Genetic Code | The rule that describes how a sequence of nucleotides, read in groups of three consecutive nucleotides (triplets) that correspond to specific amino acids, specifies the amino acids, specifies the amino acid sequence of a protein
🗑
|
||||
| Codon | In DNA, a three-nucleotide sequence that encodes an amino acid or signifies a start signal or a stop signal
🗑
|
||||
| Anticodon | A region of tRNA that consists of three bases complementary to the codon of mRNA
🗑
|
||||
| Genome | The complete genetic material contained in an individual
🗑

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.
