Translation Flashcards
1
Q
1.
A
mRNA attaches to ribosome and it moves along one codon at a time.
2
Q
2.
A
tRNA brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome with a complementary anticodon to the mRNA codon. They bind via complementary base pairing.
3
Q
3.
A
A second tRNA attaches and a peptide bond forms between the two amino acids. First tRNA leaves ribosome to collect another amino acid.
4
Q
4.
A
When a stop codon appears, the chain ends as it doesn’t code for an amino acid.
5
Q
Transcription
A
mRNA produced, DNA unwinds from middle, only one gene of DNA copied, RNA nucleotides used (U), RNA polymerase used.
6
Q
DNA replication
A
DNA produced, DNA unwinds from one end, whole length of DNA copied, DNA nucleotides used (T), DNA polymerase used.
