Gene And Translation Pt 2 Flashcards
What is the DNA translated to RNA that codes for proteins called
EXON
What is the DNA translated to RNA that are spliced out called
INTRONS
What is the term called when Exxon’s are mixed and matched to make proteins
Alternative splicing
Types of RNA and functions
Hoe
From DNA > RNA
mRNA (messenger rna)
Brings Amino Acids > Ribosomes
so ribosomes can attach
tRNA (Transfer RNA)
Plays catalytic ( ribosomes) roles and structural roles in ribosomes
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
1 unit
Monomer
> 1 unit
Polymer
H | NH2- C- COOH | R
Generic structure of Amino Acid
Determines how the protein folds and the identity
R group in amino acid
NH2
Amino acid
COOH
Carboxyl
1:1 ratio
DNA> mRNA
3:1 ratio
mRNA > protein (codon)
