Protein synthesis

?
In transcription what attaches to the DNA?
RNA polymerase
1 of 22
What breaks between the paired bases?
hydrogen bonds
2 of 22
What unwinds?
DNA
3 of 22
What pairs with what in transcription?
RNA nucleotides with bases complementary to those on the template strand of the DNA
4 of 22
What do they form?
an mRNA molecule
5 of 22
What happens after this happens?
the mRNA molecule leaves the nucleus through a pore in the nuclear envelope
6 of 22
What does it attach to?
a ribosome
7 of 22
Where does translation occur?
on the surface of the ribosome
8 of 22
What are ribosomes made up of?
2 sub units
9 of 22
What subunit does the mRNA bind to?
smaller subunit
10 of 22
What does the tRNA bind to?
larger unit
11 of 22
What is one side of the tRNA molecule?
an anticodon
12 of 22
What is the start code?
AUG
13 of 22
What does the ribosome do?
holds the mRNA, tRNAs, amino acids and associated enzyme in place while a peptide bond forms between the two amino acids
14 of 22
What is the peptide bond?
a condensation reaction
15 of 22
between what?
amine group of one amino acid and the carboxylic acid group of the next
16 of 22
what does this form?
dipeptide
17 of 22
What is the first nature of the genetic code?
It reads as sequences of three bases- triplet code
18 of 22
What is the second nature of the genetic code?
the code is non-overlapping
19 of 22
What does this mean?
No base of one triplet contributes to part of the next triplet
20 of 22
How else is the genetic code described?
degenerative
21 of 22
What does this mean?
several triplets can code for the same amino acid.
