Protein Synthesis

Question 1

What process requires tRNA?

Answer 1

Translation, this tRNA molecule carries an anti codon which helps code for an amino acid

Question 2

Where does Transcription occur?

Answer 2

The nucleus

Question 3

What enzyme splits DNA?

Answer 3

RNA Polymerase

Question 4

What are the three sub mutations of Point Mutation?

Answer 4

Silent mutation-protein not effected
Missense mutation- only one amino acid changed
Nonsense mutation- swapped and stopped

Question 5

How many kinds of amino acids exist?

Answer 5

20

Question 6

What is Quaternary Structure?

Answer 6

Many proteins joined together to make one large protein, which surround an iron

Question 7

What is Secondary Structure?

Answer 7

Hydrogen bonds and proteins fold forming Alphahelix or Beta Pleated Sheets

Question 8

What bonds connect amino acids?

Answer 8

Peptide bonds

Question 9

What are the two types of a mutation?

Answer 9

Point mutation & Frame shift mutation

Question 10

What is Primary Structure?

Answer 10

Amino acid chain has no folds

Question 11

What is the last type of RNA

Answer 11

rRNA makes up ribosomes

Question 12

What is the polymer of amino acids?

Answer 12

Proteins or Polypeptides

Question 13

What is the monomer of a protein?

Answer 13

Amino acid

Question 14

What base combination kick starts Transcription?

Answer 14

The TATA box

Question 15

What is Tertiary Structure?

Answer 15

When helices and pleated sheets fold and make a “blob” or globular protein

Question 16

Frame shift mutation causes amino acids to _____________

Answer 16

Insert amino acids/delete amino acids

Question 17

What are the 2 processes in protein synthesis?

Answer 17

Transcription and Translation

Question 18

What process requires mRNA?

Answer 18

Both, Transcription creates the mRNA by scanning the DNA and creating its opposite. Translation reads the mRNA chain and matches its codons with tRNAs anti codons

Question 19

Where does translation occur?

Answer 19

In the cytoplasm and ribosomes
