Protein Synthesis Flashcards
1
Q
simply a change in a gene
A
mutation
2
Q
involve a change in a single base pair & thus a change in the corresponding mRNA
A
Point mutations
3
Q
are detected by gene sequence determination. There is no change in the amino acid sequence.
A
Silent mutations
4
Q
mutations arise from a base change that causes incorporation of a different amino acid in the encoded protein (ex. Hemoglobin and sickle-cell disease).
A
Missense
5
Q
mutations arise from point mutations that result in the formation or loss of a termination codon. The resulting protein maybe truncated or “read through”.
A
Nonsense
6
Q
Three reasons why proteins would be synthesized in the RER
A
- Secreted proteins
- Membrane proteins
- Lysosomal proteins
7
Q
Free ribosomes proteins are
A
Cytosolic ribosomes
Nuclear proteins
Mitochondrial enzymes
Peroxisomal enzymes
