Protein Synthesis Flashcards
DNA makeup?
Phosphate
Deoxyribose
Nitrogenous bases (ATCG)
RNA makeup?
Phosphate
Ribose
Nitrogenous base (AUCG)
Purine?
2 ring structure
Pyrimidine
1 ring structure
rRNA?
Made in nucleolus
2 rna form with protein to make ribosomes
Reads mRNA code
mRNA
Made by copying genes through transcription
Trna
Recognizes amino acids through anticodons
Carries amino acid from cytoplasm to ribosome
Transcription
A section of DNA unzips and mRNA are brought in to bond
Translation
Initiation
RRNA attaches to start codon
Trna base pairs with codon
Large rna Join with small subunit
Elongation
Amino acids are added to form polypeptide
Termination
Repeats until stop codon is reached
Release factor binds to stop codon and adds water molecule to the end of the polypeptide chain
Somatic
Occur in single body cell and cannot be passed down
Germinal
Occur in eggs or sperm can be passed down
