Translation

Question 1

tRNA

Answer 1

“Translator” reads nucleotide word and interprets it as a protein word

Question 2

3’ end

Answer 2

Attachment site

Question 3

Anticodon

Answer 3

Nucleotide triplet that base pairs to a specific mRNA codon

Question 4

Initiation

Answer 4

Transcription factors attach to DNA and polymerase is bound in the correct orientation

The enzyme then unwinds the 2 DNA strands to being transcription

Question 5

TATA box

Answer 5

Nucleotide sequence about 25 nucleotides upstream from the starting point

Question 6

Termination in bacteria

Answer 6

terminator is in DNA; polymerase releases transcript

Question 7

Termination in Eukaryotes

Answer 7

RNA polymerase II transcribes a stop sequence

Once the polymerase catch up to each other, it detaches

Question 8

Phases

Answer 8

Initiation
Elongation
Termination

Question 9

Binding Sites of Elongation

Answer 9

P-Site: polypeptide
A-Site: amino acid
E-Site: exit

Question 10

Translocation

Answer 10

Between step 2 and 3 of elongation

tRNA slide over one spot so that the polypeptide chain is back in the middle (p-site) and the empty tRNA can exit

Question 11

Initiation codon is found

Answer 11

Within the mRNA
