gene expression 2D Flashcards
1
Q
gene expression
A
the process of reading the informations stored within a gene to create a functional product
2
Q
template strand
A
strand of DNA transcribed by RNA polymerase to produce a complementary pre MRNA strand (reading 3’ to 5’)
3
Q
coding strand
A
strand of DNA not transcribed by RNA polymerase (reading 5’ to 3’)
4
Q
ribosome
A
the site of protein synthesis
5
Q
splioceosme
A
enzyme that removes introns and joins exons into a shorter strand
6
Q
alternative splicing
A
process of where different exons may be spliced resulting in single gene producing multiple different MRNA strand.
7
Q
anticodon
A
sequence of 3 nucleotide on TRNA the recognises a specific senesce of a codon on a mRNA strand.
8
Q
exocytosis
A
a type of bulk transport that moves large substances out of a cell
