RNA Molecules

Question 1

Three Types of RNA

Answer 1

mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

Question 2

mRNA

Answer 2

Messanger for RNA. it uses DNA template for genetic coding and when released from the chromosome it travels to the edge of the nucleus to the nuclear pore in order to access the cytoplasm to start translation

Question 3

tRNA

Answer 3

Transfer RNA. Helps transfer the anti condons to match up/find bonds with the codons from the mRNA

Question 4

rRNA

Answer 4

Ribosome RNA. the complex RNA molecules and proteins help make up the ribosome

Question 5

Codon

Answer 5

Triplet of nucleotides

Question 6

What’s special about AUG

Answer 6

It’s the starting triplet

Question 7

What’s the name given to the collective of three bases?

Answer 7

Anti-codon

Question 8

Identify two possible outcomes for the protein that has been created that do not involve a change in its structural appearance.

Answer 8

• moves to preform other functions in the body

- it quickly travels and bonds with other molecules

Question 9

How does a point mutation differ from a chromosomal mutation?

Answer 9

Chromosomal mutation can happen with duplication elimination, affecting the bases of a chromosome
While a point mutation only effects one set of base pairs

Question 10

Comment on any two mutagenic agents

Answer 10

Chemicals

Radiation
