Transcription/translation Flashcards
What is the first step of transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase breaks hydrogen bonds between bases
What is the second step of transcription?
RNA nucleotides, that come from food, will bond to their complimentary bases on DNA strands
What is the third step of transcription?
RNA polymerase will bond sugars to phosphates
Involving with RNA, what two bases bond together?
G and C
A and U
What is replaced with what compared to DNA from RNA?
T is replaced with U
The assembling of amino acids to make a protein is what?
Translation
mRNA can also be known as
Templet
mRNA is made through ______________
Transcription
The 1st codon is ALWAYS …
AUG
AUG can be known as
The universal start codon
The universal initiator codon
What is the 1st step of translation?
mRNA is made through transcription
What is the 2nd step of translation?
mRNA will leave the nucleus and will attach to a ribosome
What is the 3rd step of translation?
In the cytoplasm, there are amino acids (food)
What happens in the 4th step of translation?
tRNA will be made through transcription the tRNA is going to leave the nucleus and it’s free codon is going to bond to its complimentary codon on an amino acid
What is the 5th step of translation?
The anticodon on the tRNA will bond to its complimentary codon on mRNA on the ribosome
