Protein Synthesis Flashcards
where is protein synthesis controlled?
nucleus
each gene codes for a . . .
protein
product of a protein synthesis
polypeptide chain, fibrous or globular
process of protein synthesis
DNA splits, transcription, mRNA leaves, binds ribosomes, tRNA carries amino acids, translation, protein detaches, fold
what is revealed when the DNA splits?
gene
what happens when transcription occurs?
mRNA formed, DNA copied
where are tRNA
cytoplasm
amino acids attach to . . .
mRNA in DNA’s correct order after carried by tRNA
translation
tRNA brings amino acids for growth of protein chain in correct oder. Peptide bonds form between acids
mRNA
single helix structure, transcription (copy of gene)
every 3 bases of mRNA code for . . .
1 amino acid
every 3 mRNA . . .
is a codon = determines responding mRNA
tRNA
triplet of bases, anticodon, carry amino acids, translation
ribosomes role
2 codons held together whilst peptide bonds form between tRNA, 3 nonsense codons which stops process as no tRNA respond
