TOPIC 12= GENE EXPRESSION Flashcards
GENE EXPRESSION?
PROCESS WHERE DNA DIRECTS PROTEIN MAKING
TRANSCRIPTION?
FIRST STAGE OF GENE EXPRESSION TO MAKE MESSENGER RNA FROM DNA
TRANSLATION?
MAKING OF POLYPEPTIDE USING INFORMATION IN MRNA
TEMPLATE STRAND?
PROVIDES TEMPLATE FOR SEQUENCE OF COMPLEMENTARY NUCLEOTIDES IN MRNA TRANSCRIPT
NON TEMPLATE STRAND?
NUCLEOTIDES OF THIS STRAND ARE INDENTICAL TO CODONS OF MRNA
HOW ARE CODONS READ?
5 TO 3
RNA POLYMERASE?
PRODUCES RNA COMPLEMENTARY TO DNA TEMPLATE STRAND
PROMOTOR?
START POINT FOR TRANSCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPTION INITIATION COMPLEX?
COMPLETED ASSEMBLY OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS AND RNA POLYMERASE BOUND TO PROMOTOR
ELONGATION?
UNTWISTS DOUBLE HELIX, GROWING STRAND OF RNA
TERMINATION?
WHERE IT STOPS, DONE BY POLY A, IN EUKARYOTES TRANSCRIPTION OCCURS 10 TO 35 UNITS PAST THIS THING
TRANSFER RNA (LLAMA)?
BRINGS AA TO GROWING POLYPEPTIDE IN RIBOSOME
ANTICODON?
BASE PAIRS W COMPLEMENTARY CODON ON MRNA
3 BINDING SITES IN RIBOSOME?
- A SITE= HOLDS TRNA THAT CARRIES NEXT AA TO BE ADDED
- P SITE= HOLDS TRNA THAT CARRIES THE CREATED POLYPEPTIDE
- E SITE= WHERE THEY EXIT
GERM LINE MUTATION?
IN EGG AND CAN BE PASSED TO OFFSPRING
