Transcription & Translation Flashcards
______ connects complementry RNA bases to the DNA in Transcription
RNA polymerase
What carries the blueprint in transcription out of the nucleus
mRNA
The ______ builds the protein in translation
Ribosome
______ brings the animo acids to the ribosome to build a protein
tRNA
What is mRNAs job
To code the DNA and tell tRNA which amino acids to bring.
tRNA reads the Nitrogenous bases in sets of 3 called
Codons
What does Uracil bind with in RNA
Adenine
AUG is considered this type of codon
Start
UAG is an example of this type of codon
Stop codon
The stop codons are

How do bacteria reproduce?
Binary fission
Difference between DNA & RNA polymerase
When is each one used
DNA polymerase is used in DNA replication
RNA polymerase is used in Transcription
________ is the first product of the transcribed gene and contains both non-coding sequences (introns) and coding sequences (exons)
while _______ is the second product of a transcribed gene which contains only coding sequences
preMRNA / mRNA
