Reading Genes Flashcards
Each gene in DNA contains coded instructions to build a single protein or _
Other chemical
Reading process involves code being read by _ and then carried…
Enzyme
DNA code read by enzyme then carried in the form of _ to _ where it is translated into a protein
RNA
Cytoplasm
mRNA may be translated into proteins many times before it eventually _
Degrades within cell
Before gene is translated into a protein, enzyme must first _ that carries the code to make a protein
Transcribe a DNA strand into an mRNA
Transcribe aka _
Copy
Transcription starts when _ attaches to double helix
RNA polymerase
When attached to double helix, polymerase uses one of the DNA strands as a _
Template for the mRNA
After template, mRNA moves from nucleus to _
Cytoplasm
In eukaryotes, transcription takes place in the _
Nucleus
