Chapter 5 Flashcards
Transcription
The gene sequence is copied to a smaller molecule
Example- a single recipe from the cook book onto a flash card.
RNA
Is a single strand
Ribosome
Aucg =base
DNA sequence
ATGCCATTA
transition to complimentary MRNA
UACCGUAAU
Translation
MRNA molecule moves out of the cells nucleus.
Transition begins
Ingredients must be present in cytoplasm for translation to occur
Peptide bond link amino acids
Free amino acids
The raw material for building proteins
Ribosome subunits
Subunits
Transfer RNA
Interpreters of the MRNA code
MRNA
Is single strand
Codon table
64 combinations
Every triplet is calls for a code
(Codon)
AUG codon
Is called the methanomine
UAA
UAG
UGA
Codon
Means stop
AUG
Start codon
Anti codon
Is on the TRNA
Codon is on the MRNA strand
Ribosome
Reads the MRNA
TRNA
Transports amino acids
