DNA Flashcards
1
Q
What is mRNA
A
It is messenger RNA and it is complimentary and antiparallel to the coding strand of DNA, and is typically made during transcription and used during translation.
2
Q
What is tRNA
A
It is transfer RNA, which is what brings in specific amino acids to the ribosome during transcription, it also has an anti-codon.
3
Q
What rRNA
A
It is Ribosomal RNA. it is the structural component of ribosomes, essentially ribosomes are made of this RNA.
4
Q
What is Transcription?
A
Transcription involves creating a complementary mRNA to the DNA strand, it involves DNA polymerase bind to the promoter region of the DNA unzipping the DNA bring in nucleotides according to the base paring rule to produce pre-mRNA, it then undergoes
