Transcription & Translation Flashcards
How does RNA differ from DNA in primary structure?
How does RNA differ from DNA in secondary structure?
How is RNA transcribed from DNA?
What proteins are used in the process of transcription (DNA>RNA)?
What are the different types and functions of RNA?
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
snRNA
What type of RNA forms a template for protein synthesis?
messenger RNA
(mRNA)
What type of RNA carries activate amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis?
transfer RNA
(tRNA)
What type of RNA is the structural core of ribosomes?
ribosomal RNA
(rRNA)
What type of RNA is involved in processing of DNA and RNA in nuclei?
small nuclear RNA
(snRNA)
What are the three types of post-transcriptional modifications?
What is a codon?
How does the reading frame affect the codon?
Process of translation
What proteins are involved in translation (RNA>Protein)?
How does the anticodon on the tRNA determine the amino acid it carries?
