ch 7 pt 2 Flashcards
mRNA is decoded in sets of __ nucleotides
3
tRNA molecules
match amino acids to codons in mRNA
how do stop codons work
no tRNA bind to those codons so it’s stops the production of anything else
understand
okay
where are ribosomes located
cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells
understand
okay
what makes up the eukaryotic ribosome
4 rRNAs and over 80 smaller proteins (large subunit 3 rRNAs, small 1 rRNA)
each ribosome has
a binding site for a mRNA molecule and three binding sites for tRNAs
understand
okay
what bind to a stop tRNA
a release factor, that signals the release of the polypeptide chain
what is this
polyribosome
tRNA molecules contain unusual versions of
uracil
what charges tRNA with the right amino acid
aninoacyl tRNA synthetases
___________ is a 72-amino acid tag that is added to proteins that need to be degraded
