coding for polpeptides Flashcards
1
Q
how is RNA different to DNA?
A
ribose for pentose sugar
is single stranded
has uracil as a base instead thymine
2
Q
transcription
A
a gene unwinds and unzips
RNA polymerase catalyzes RNA nucleotides. A -U C-G T-A
3
Q
translation
A
the mRNA leaves the nucleus through nuclear pores
the tRNA is a loop where at one end there are three unpaired bases for the amino to join
and the other is a anticodon which joins to the complementary base pairs on the mRNA
when two amino acids are assembled next to each other they form polypeptide bonds.

A
ATP
