| Question | Answer |
| Protein synthesis takes 2 steps: | transcription & translation |
| DNA to RNA | transcription |
| RNA to DNA | translation |
| TRANSCRIPTION purpose | Carry the code/instructions out of the nucleus |
| Transcription location | nucleus |
| Transcription starts with | DNA |
| Transcription ends with | mRNA |
| Three Essential Types of RNA | mRNA (messenger), tRNA (transfer), and rRNA (ribosomal) |
| DNA sequence (template): TACGCTAGTACGATT | mRNA sequence: AUGCGAUCAUGCUAA |
| Genetic Code | code of instructions for how to make proteins |
| Codon | a set of 3 nucleotides on the mRNA |
| Anticodon | complementary” 3 nucleotides on tRNA |
| TRANSLATION Purpose | Read/follow the instructions carried on the mRNA to make a protein |
| Translation location | Cytoplasm / Ribosome |
| Translation starts with | mRNA (translation) |
| Translation ends with | protein (translation) |
| The ribosome releases the completed protein. | When the “stop codon” is reached |
| Amino acids are bonded together with | peptide bonds |
| Purines are | Adenine and Guanine |
| Pyrimidine are | cytosine, Thymine and Uracil |
| Helicase | Unzips the DNA during replication |
| DNA polymerase | Joins the nucleotides together in a DNA strand |
| Base pairing | In DNA the ft between Thymine and Adenine and th fit between Cytosine and Guanine is called? |
