Gene Expression

Question 1

Transcription

Answer 1

Synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template.

Question 2

Translation

Answer 2

Process by which the sequence of bases of an mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protien.

Question 3

mRNA

Answer 3

Carries the genetic information needed to make protiens copied from the DNA and taken from the nuceleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

Question 4

tRNA

Answer 4

A biology molecule that act as temporary carriers of amino acids, match the codon to the anticodon nucelotides.

Question 5

Ribosome

Answer 5

A particle consisting of RNA and associated protiens found in large numbers in the cytoplasm and builds protiens.

Question 6

Peptide Bond

Answer 6

A chemical bond that is formed between amino acid in the process of building protiens.

Question 7

Codon

Answer 7

A group of three nucleotide bases in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid to be incorporated into a protien.

Question 8

Protien folding

Answer 8

The** process by which a protien chain is transformed into its native three-dimensional structure **allowing the protien to function correctly.

Question 9

Mutation

Answer 9

Change in the genetic material of a cell.

Question 10

DNA replication

Answer 10

The process by which a cell duplicates its DNA in order to prepare for division.
