Protein Synthesis

Question 1

Name the two steps of protein synthesis

Answer 1

Transcription and Translation

Question 2

Transcription process

Answer 2

-Helicase unzips DNA (unzips where codon says, AUG/TAC)
-5 and 3 ends attach with RNA polymerase builds in threes
-once complete, splicing occurs with introns (unneeded parts) are taken out and exons (left over parts) are join together creating mRNA

Question 3

Name Translation’s steps

Answer 3

Initiation, elongation, termination

Question 4

Initiation

Answer 4

-mRNA goes into cytoplasm
-Ribosomes bind mRNA to tRNA which has an anticodon of the mRNA’s codon

Question 5

Elongation
