DNA - RNA

Question 0

Transcription

Answer 0

Makes an mRNA copy of DNA replacing Ts with Us
using template DNA strands with the enzyme RNA polymerase to form hydrogen bonds
base complementary to the DNA sequence

Question 1

Template strand

Answer 1

Strand of DNA that goes for the three prime to five prime and that mRNA is built off of

Question 2

RNA is different because

Answer 2

T changes to U
single-strand
contains ribose sugar

Question 3

rRNA

Answer 3

Ribosomal RNA

has mRNA binding site

Question 4

mRNA

Answer 4

Carries the genetic information

Question 5

tRNA

Answer 5

Translates mRNA into amino acids
brings amino acids to the ribosome & have an anti-codon that is complementary to the mRNA codon
(this is how they are put together the right order)

Question 6

Translation

Answer 6

Transfer of info in RNA to protein (express phenotype) 
mRNA copy of a gene leaves the nucleus to the ribosome 
ribosomes use mRNA instructions to build proteins out of amino acids using tRNA 
read codons (start codon and stop codon)

Question 7

Anti codon

Answer 7

Triplet of bases on tRNA that match up with codons on mRNA

Question 8

Universal genetic code

Answer 8

Is used to figure out the sequence of amino acids in a protein from a mRNA sequence

Question 9

Start codon

Answer 9

AUG tells tRNA when to begin

Question 10

Stop codon

Answer 10

Met amino acid tells tRNA went to end

Question 11

Post transcription modification

Answer 11

Intron’s internal non-coding sections are removed
exons are pushed together
In eukaryotes mRNA must cross the nuclear envelope and go to the cytoplasm add extra nucleotides to the ends
