Proteinsynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Steps of transcription:
A
Gene, DNA unrips, RNA polymerse binds just before gene, RNA polymerase joins RNA nucleotides together and finally it detaches and goes to the ribosomes
2
Q
Steps of translation:
A
Initiation: Ribosomal subunits bind to mRNA
Elongation: The ribosome moves along the mRNA molecule linking amino acids and forming a polypeptide chain
Termination: The ribosome reaches a stop codon, which terminates protein synthesis and releases the
ribosome

Q
What is mutation?
A
It is a change in the DNA base sequence causing a different outcome
