Protein Synthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Transcription - Stage 1
A
DNA is copied by the mRNA inside the nucleus’s the mRNA brings this code to the ribosome.
2
Q
Translation - Stage 2
A
The mRNA code is read by the tRNA and is converted into a protein.
3
Q
mRNA
A
Messenger RNA
4
Q
tRNA - what does it carry
A
Transfer RNA
Carries an Anticodon and an Amino Acid
5
Q
rRNA
A
Ribosome RNA - is the ribosome
6
Q
Codon / Triplet
A
A series of 3 bases together on the mRNA strand.
7
Q
Anticodon
A
3 bases on the tRNA molecule that matches to the mRNA molecule.
