Transcription Flashcards
1
Q
What does the proteins a cell manufactures depend upon?
A
Instructions that are provided at any given time by the DNA in the cell’s nucleus.
2
Q
What occurs in the process of translation?
A
• Complementary section of part of this sequence is made in the form of a molecule called pre-mRNA, a process called transcription.
3
Q
What occurs in the process of translation?
A
• mRNA is used as a template to which complementary tRNA molecules attach and the amino acids they carry are linked to form a polypeptide in a process called translation.
4
Q
What is the entire process by which proteins are manufactured?
A
- DNA provides the instructions in the form of a long sequence of bases.
- Complementary section of part of this sequence is made in the form a molecule called pre-mRNA, during transcription
- pre-mRNA is spliced to form mRNA
- mRNA is used as a template to which complementary tRNA molecules attach and the amino acids they carry are linked to form a polypeptide in a process called translation.

What is transcrpition?
A
Process of making pre mRNA using part of the DNA s a template
