5 From Gene to Phenotype Flashcards
TF AT has 3 H bonds and CG has 2 H bonds
F, AT has 2 bonds and CG has 3
what is the diff between a nucleotide and a nucleoside
Side= no phosphate
Tide= phosphates
TF DNA stores data very well
T
What is the difference between Ribose (RNA) and Deoxyribose (DNA)
RNA molec has an OH in part of the 5 membered ring, in DNA its just a H
TF RNA uses Uracil not Thymine
T
what are the coding and non coding RNAs
Coding
- mRNA
Non-Coding
- snRNA
- tRNA
- rRNA
- miRNA
what are the details of transcription DNA–>RNA
○ Happens in RNA polymerase
○ Unwinds DNA
○ Creates DNA polymer
○ DNA rewinds
○ mRNA released
what are the details of RNA synthesis
○ Uses ribonucleotide triphosphates
○ U instead of T
○ Only 1 strand of DNA is used as template
○ RNA strands can be initiated de novo (no primer req)
TF RNA is complimentary to the template strand
T
the template strand is read ___to___ and is made __to__
3’ to 5’
5’ to 3’
TF in prokaryotes transcription and translation can happen at the same time
T
why can transcription and translation happen at the same time in proks
Don’t have nucleus so rna doesnt need to leave into the cytoplasm to get translated
○Ribosomes jump on rna strand as it being made
what are the steps to transcription in proks
§ Initiation
□ 2 part
® Rna polymerase binds to promoter (cis regulatory element)
® Then unwinds DNA
§ Elgogation
□ Rna chain grows copying from 3’ to 5’
□ Produces RNA dowm middle while rewinding at the end
§ Termiantion
□ 2 ways
the start of transcription in proks begins with the ___(RNA polymerase binding site)
promoter sequence (TATA Box)
what comes at the end of the promoter sequence in prok transcription
+1 site (the process of transcribing starts here)
what is the start codon
ATG
TF there is a 5’ and 3’ UTR at the beginning and end of the transcription sequence
T
what does UTR mean
untranslated region
what is after the 3’ UTR in prok transcription
3’ Poly A tail
what is intrinsic termination
- GC rich area creates hairpin structure
- Large poly A region created on hairpin
- the As not strong enough to hold on
- Pulls RNA polymerase off
what is factor dependant termination
® Rho protein (trans) binds to Rho utilization site
® Creates ball like structure (same idea as hairpin)
® Disassembles RNA polymerase
what is a cis and a trans element
- Cis element = same side rna sequences, not moving anywhere
- Trans element = across sides, can move anywhere in genome
what is the main role of RNA polymerase 2 in euks
rna transcription
how many rna polymerases are in euks
5 different ones
