BIO LORE Flashcards
Nuceolus
-Eukaryotes only
-in nucleus
- surrounded by proteins rna and dna
- Synthesis and assembly of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) leading to the formation of ribosomes, essential for protein synthesis in the cell.
Nucleus
Location: Usually located near the center of the cell.
Structure: Enclosed by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which contains pores for communication with the rest of the cell.
Function: Acts as the control center of the cell, housing the genetic material (DNA) in the form of chromosomes. It regulates gene expression, DNA replication, and repairs.
Replication
Copies nucleotide sequence of dna into dna
semiconservative style
Transcription
mechanism used by cells to read out instructions of gene
more technical def: copies sequence of gene from dna into RNA
RNA SYNTHESIS
Translation
The actual construction of protein via MRNA
