ch 6 part 3 reviews Flashcards
translation
Start codon (AUG) marks the starting point for translation
and sets up the reading frame
elongation involve ?
tRNA
termination take place when ribosome reaches stop codon such as ?
UAG, UGA,UAA
AUG is code for ?
meth
Translation – Initiation
1-methionine tRNA binds to starting AUG
2-the large ribosomal subunits joins the complex
3-tRNA is at the p-site
_________bind between two amino acid
peptide bind
protein is synthsized in the n terminus to C terminus direction true or false ?
true
When the ribosome reaches a _________________, a release factor binds instead of an amino acid
stop codon
__________release from the complex
polypeptide or protein
Mutations
Alterations in the base-pair sequence of an individual’s DNA
Types of mutations:
1-mutation in non-sex cell
2-mutation in sex cell
mutation in non-sex cell
1-somatic cell
2-NOT passed on along to the next generarion
Mutation in sex cell :
-no adverse effect on individual carrying them
-can be passed on the next generation
Two major types of changes to DNA may occur:
1-chromosomal aberration
2-point mutation
point mutation
only one nucleotide is changed
Replacement of a single base pair with another
