Protein Synthesis

Question 1

Transcription

Answer 1

from DNA to pre mRNA

Question 2

Rna Processing

Answer 2

changes made before RNA leaves nucleus. cap and tail are added, introns are taken out and exons are spliced together.

Question 3

Translation

Question 4

Promoter

Answer 4

not primer; where RNA polymerase binds

Question 5

RNA Polymerase

Answer 5

adds new RNA nucleotides to create pre-mRNA

Question 6

coding strand

Answer 6

DNA strand with the same nucleotide sequence as the pre-mRNA being made (besides the thymine, which is uracil in the RNA)

Question 7

template strand

Answer 7

this DNA strand is read and used to make the pre-mRNA

Question 8

transcription stop point

Answer 8

tells where to stop transcription, is on the DNA

Question 9

tata box

Question 10

transcription factors

Question 11

mRNA

Answer 11

messenger RNA

Question 12

5’ cap

Answer 12

protects RNA, is where mRNA attaches to ribosome

Question 13

poly-A tail

Answer 13

protects RNA (more adenine makes it last longer), helps guide mRNA out of nucleus

Question 14

intron

Answer 14

are edited out

Question 15

exon

Answer 15

are spliced together

Question 16

spliceosome

Question 17

tRNA

Answer 17

brings correct amino acid to the ribosome

Question 18

codon

Question 19

anticodon

Answer 19

on the tRNA; is used to get correct amino acid to the ribosome
