14.2 - 5 RIBOSOMES & PROTE IN SYNTHESIS Flashcards
1
Q
Polypeptide
A
Long chain of amino acids that makes proteins.
2
Q
Genetic code
A
Collection of codons of mRNA, each of which directs the incorporation of a particular amino acid into protein during protein synthesis.
3
Q
Codon
A
Group of three nucleotide bases in mRNA specify, a particular amino acid to be incorporated onto a protein.
4
Q
Translation
A
Process by which the sequence of bases of an mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
5
Q
Anticodon
A
Group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to the three bases of a codon of mRNA.
6
