Protein synthesis Flashcards
What is the first step of protein synthesis?
Transcription
rRNA
ribosomal
tRNA
transfer
mRNA
messenger
in a sense strand how many strands have a gene
ONE
Are genes copied from DNA to mRNA in transcription?
yes
What happens to the T on a sense strand?
It turns into a U
DNA is
Deoxyribose
Is RNA single or double
single
RNA is
ribose
Is DNA double or single stranded
double
What the difference in RNA than in DNA
Instead of thymine it turns into uracil
What is step two in protein synthesis?
Translation
Where does translation take place?
cytoplasm in ribosomes
Translation turns mRNA into
Poly peptides
T or F Peptide Bonds only occur with occur with a series of amino acids
True
What’s a codon?
sequence of three nucleotides that code for amino acids
What do Amino acids link to be proteins
anticondons
