Unit 6- Translation

Question 1

Anticodon

Answer 1

Sequence of three nucleotides at the end of the transfer RNA which is complementary to the codon in the messenger RNA sequence.

Question 2

A-site

Answer 2

Where the tRNA comes into the ribosomes and binds the proteins.

Question 3

P-site

Answer 3

where the amino acid will be added to the polypeptide (forming protein/Amino acid chain) after going through A-site

Question 4

Codon

Answer 4

the code that it builds from three nucleotides that build a certain amino acid

Question 5

Ribosomal RNA

Answer 5

Makes ribosomes

Question 6

Start Codon

Answer 6

First amino acid in every protein. It is called AUG, Methionine

Question 7

Stop Codon

Answer 7

Not an amino acid, but a code that says to stop building a protein.

Question 8

translation

Answer 8

The process a cell makes proteins using a genetic information carried in mRNA

Question 9

Transfer RNA

Answer 9

Transfers amino acids to form the right sequence of the polypeptides
