RNA

Question 1

What is RNA for?

Answer 1

Protein synthesis- carry code of DNA for protein synthesis to ribosome to create amino acid chain to create protein

Question 2

Differences of DNA vs RNA?

Answer 2

shorter, single strand, Uracil, ribose sugar

Question 3

Define protein synthesis?

Answer 3

process by which proteins are created in cells of organisms for new cell structures, enzymes, or hormones to carry out functions.

Question 4

What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?

Answer 4

gives the code for protein
acts as template to create smaller rna that can go to ribosome

Question 5

Explain transcription?

Answer 5

portion of dna with protein code will unwind (helicase) and free rna nucleotides from cytoplasm will match to corosepnding bases. dna strand (single) will act as template for mrna to join on. mrna will separate with codons (adjacent bases that have the code for amino acid). mrna will go to ribosome in cytoplasm and dna will wind up again

Question 6

Explain Translation?

Answer 6

mrna will join to surface of ribosome and trna with the corresponding anticodon will find amino acid from cytoplasm and join to the specific codon on mrna. rna of ribosome moves along the surface of mrna to control the process. trna releases to get more specific amino acid from the cytoplasm to form a polypeptide chain with peptide bonds. 50+ forms protein that is taken to target organ/ forms specific enzyme.

Question 7

How does DNA mutation affect protein synthesis?

Answer 7

Dna code changes, mrna sequence changes and codon will be different. trna will the corresponding anti codon will find different amino acid which will create a different protein

Question 8

What is the role of tRNA in the process?

Answer 8

can find amino acids for specific codons through anticodons
create amino acid chain
