Q

location of promoter ?

A

near the beginning of a gene
(upstream of the gene toward the 5’ end)

20
Q

how long is promoter region ?

A

100-1000bp

21
Q

how important is the promoter region

A

initiation of transcription.

22
Q

The 3′ untranslated region (3’UTR)
contains a signal for the addition of a
sequence of adenosine residues
to the end of mRNA

A

polyA tail

23
Q

process when a gene is used to synthesized RNA and protein

A

gene expression

24
Q

what are the Genes are transcribed in all cells of the body.?

A

housekeeping genes

25
housekeeping genes encode product that are reqiured for...
cell’s maintenance and metabolism.
26
Gene regulation importance
appropriate genes are expressed at the correct : amount, place time during development.
27
Proteins that control the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to mRNA.
Transcription factors
28
how does the Transcription factors works
controlling the recruitment of RNA polymerase
29
enhancers
increase the transcription rate
30
silencers
decrease the transcription rate
31
how transcription process
Transcription factors recognize the promoter of the gene. * RNA polymerase II then binds and forms the transcription initiation complex. * RNA polymerase II synthesized RNA single strand.
32
Removing of the introns
splicing
33
number of modification happend to mRNA before leaving nucleus
RNA processing.
34
importance of 5’ Capping:
facilitate transport of the mRNA to the cytoplasm protect transcript RNA form degradation by endogenous exonucleases
35
what is Polyadenylation, and how important it is ?
addition of 3' poly-A tail facilitates nuclear export and translation.
36
carrying the information from genes to cytoplasm to produce polypeptides(proteins)
mRNA
37
transporting amino acids to ribosomes
tRNA
38
rRNA
associated with ribosomal protein from ribosomes
39
ribosomes location
cytoplasm
40
ribosomes construction
two different sized subunits (small subunit and large subunit)
41
ribosomes function
translates the genetic information in the RNA into a string of amino acids that will become a protein.
42
trinucleotide sequence which is complementary to the codon of the mRNA.
anticodon
43
stop codon for termination the protein synthesis
(UAA, UAG, UGA)
44
start codon
AUG met
45
the ribosome moves along the mRNA, and the amino acids are linking up by the formation of peptide bonds. this action is done by what enzyme
peptidyl transferase
46
post translation modifactions are:
Glycosylation * Methylation * Phosphorylation * Hydroxylation * Proteolytic cleavage
