Rna And Protein Synthesis Flashcards
1
Q
What is protein synthesis
A
The production of proteins from the information contained within a cells dna
2
Q
Two main stages involved in protein synthesis
A
Transcription. Where the da is copied into a molecule called mrna
Translation. Where the mrna joins with a ribosome and the code it carries is used to synthesise a protein
3
Q
Mrna
A
Carries genetic code from the dna to the ribosomes where it is used to make a protein during translation
Has groups of three adjacent bases called codons
4
Q
Trna
A
Carries the animosity code used to make proteins to the ribosomes
Hydrogen bonds between the specific base pairs hold the molecule
Clover shaped
