Transcription And Translation Flashcards
1
Q
Messenger RNA
A
mRNA complementary to one strand of DNA, travels from nucleus to ribosomes
2
Q
Ribosomal RNA
A
rRNA part of ribosome
3
Q
Transfer RNA
A
tRNA smaller segments of RNA that transport amino acids to the ribosome
4
Q
Transcription
A
In the nucleus where synthesis of mRNA from DNA happens
5
Q
introns
A
Sequences not in the final mRNA
6
Q
Exons
A
Remaining coding sequences
7
Q
