Question 1

What are the three parts to RNA?

Answer 1

tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA

Question 2

What does tRNA do?

Answer 2

Transfers amino acids that have anti codons that pair with mRNA codons to put amino acids on the correct order

Question 3

What does mRNA do?

Answer 3

Contains message/code for amino acid sequence

Question 4

What does rRNA do?

Answer 4

Facilitates the matching of mRNA and tRNA

Question 5

Where are the anticodons?

Answer 5

End of the tRNA molecule, mark the end of the the polypeptide RNA strand

Question 6

Define translation

Answer 6

Decoding mRNA to make proteins

Question 7

Where does translation happen

Answer 7

In the ribosomes

Question 8

What are the 3 sites in the ribosomes?

Answer 8

A site, P site, and E site

Question 9

What does the A site do in the ribosomes

Answer 9

Matches correct incoming tRNA to next codon in mRNA, aminoacyl - tRNA site

Question 10

What does the P site do in the ribosomes

Answer 10

(Peptidyl - tRNA site) Hold rRNA carrying growing polypeptide chain

Question 11

What does the E site do in the ribosomes

Answer 11

Its the exit lol

Question 12

Define Mutations

Answer 12

Permanent change in the base sequence of DNA

Question 13

What does the Point mutation do?

Answer 13

It substitutes a single base

Question 13

What is a silent mutation?

Answer 13

It is a mutation in which there is no change in the amino acids

Question 14

What is nonsense?

Answer 14

It stops production prematurely

Question 15

What is a Frameshift mutation?

Answer 15

Insertions and deletions of bases
