CHAPTER 2 Flashcards
What is the blueprint of Protein
DNA
Decoder and Messenger
RNA
Carry sequence in bui
mRNA
Forms the ribosomes
rRNA
Two parts of Protein synthesis
Transcription and Translation
Transfers amino acids
tRNA
What summarizes the Protein Synthesis
Central Dogma
Site of transcription
Nucleus
Describe the central dogma
DNA to RNA to Protein
Site for translation
Ribosomes
It is the process of transcribing genetic instructions from DNA bases into its complementary RNA bases
Transcription
Region where RNA polymerase binds
Promoter sequence/ region
DNA strand that codes
Anti-sense strand
Complementary strand of DNA template strand
Sense strand
DNA goes out the nucleus
FALSE
what is the term for the newly produce mRNA from the nucleus before it is transported
pre-mRNA
What are the modifications done in mRNA
Splicing
editing
5’ capping
polyadenylation
Removal of introns and splicing together of exons by spliceosomes
Splicing
It is the changing in nucleotide bases for example in the human protein that transports lipids to the blood has 2 modifications, a is smaller due to early stop codons
Editing
What are the stop codons
UAA, UAG, UGA
It is the addition of modified methylene cap at 5’ end for protection from degradation and aiding the ribosomes where to attach on the mRNA
5’ capping
It is the addition of a tail of adenine bases at the 3’ end signaling the end of the strand. It also to protect the mRNA from enzymes and for the transport from the nucleus
Polyadenylation
What are the three stages of translation
Initiation, Elongation, and Termination
