4 - Genetic Code Flashcards
1
Q
what does rna polyermerase require instead of a primer?
A
transcription factor complex
it moves in 3 to 5
2
Q
peptide bond between amino acids?
A
between carbonyl group and amine group
3
Q
why is the code degenerate?
A
different codons can code for same amino acid
4
Q
what are the 7 different types of amino acid groups?
A
Small amide nucleophilic aromatic hydrophobic basic acidic
5
Q
7 amino acids you need to know?
A
valine glycine glutamatic acid glutamine serine tyrosine lysine
6
Q
what are open reading frames?
A
the bases on dna strand that code for methionine on mrna
would be ATG in dna template
