QUIZ: TRANSCRIPTION, TRANSLATION AND MUTATION Flashcards
The enzyme involved in transcription is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase
True
Transcription process requires primers
False, becoz A primer is not needed in RNA synthesis, but DNA template is required
Only one strand of the DNA is used as a template during transcription
True
In eukaryotic transcription, part of mRNA transcript that will not be encoded as protein will be excised
TRUE
In translation, tRNA enters the nucleus and binds to the DNA template to synthesize the protein
FALSE
one codon always codes for one protein
False, 1 codon codes for 1 amino acid
tRNA needs to be charged with amino acid
TRUE
Traslation will be terminated by the codon AUG
False
Insertion will cause a frameshift mutation
TRUE
Thymine dimers are usually repaired by excision repair mechanism
TRUE
These aere alteration in the primary structure of the DNA
Mutation
Product of DNA exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Thymine dimers
A protein-nucleotide complex which serves as the site of translation
Ribosome
Composed of three nucleic acids which codes for an amino acids
Codon
It relates the codon to the amino acid
Genetic code
