Q

What happens in the 4th step of translation?

A

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

Q

What is the 6th step of translation?

A

tRNA will drop off the amino acid and will COULD pickup another amino acid but USUALLY dissolves

17
Q

What is the 7th step of translation?

A

Either the mRNA moves along the ribosome or vica versa

18
Q

What is the 8th step of translation?

A

An enzyme will bond amino acids into a protein

19
Q

DNA passing its code to RNA

A

Transcription

20
Q

What is the outside of DNA made up of?

A

Phosphates

21
Q

Why must replication take place?

A

Because we lose many cells

22
Q

U dealing with RNA stands for

A

Uracil

23
Q

tRNA is a ______ strand

A

Coiled

24
Q

mRNA is a ______ strand

A

Uncoiled

25
Q

What are active codons they give us traits?

A

Genes

26
Q

How many triplet groups can be made up from the bases?

A

54

27
Q

How many different amino acids are there?

A

20

28
Q

What are the 3 codons that aren’t associated called?

A

Nonsense codons

29
Q

What is ALWAYS the first 3 codons?

A

AUG

30
Q

AUG is known as the

A

Universal initiator codon

31
Q

tRNA picks up and delivers what???

Also, at the top of the tRNA what bonds with what?

A

Amino acids

Top of tRNA the codon bonds with amino acids

32
Q

4 examples of proteins

A

Hair, skin, nails, muscles

33
Q

Once tRNA picks up an amino acid.. How does it know where to go?

A

Because anti codons bond to their complimentary codons on mRNA ON THE RIBOSOME
