DNA to Protein II Flashcards
1
Q
What is the difference between RNA and DNA?
A
RNA has a different base : URACIL instead of THYMINE.
2
Q
What is the anticodon?
A
Dictates what amino acid is attached to the tRNA molecule. Looks at the messenger mRNA.
3
Q
Where does translation occur?
A
Cytoplasm.
4
Q
What happens during translation?
A
mRNA to protein.
Needs tRNA : (tRNAs carry amino acids and are specific to the codon).
5
Q
What is required for translation to occur?
A
Needs initiation factors.
Needs elongation factors.
6
Q
What happens during translation initiation?
A
mRNA binds to small subunit.
