Biology CH4: part 3 Flashcards
RNA (34 cards)
RNA contains ____ sugar or ______ acid.
Ribose sugar, ribonucleic acid.
RNA is _ strand(s,ed)
1 stranded
RNA REPLACES THYMINE WITH ____
Uracil (U)
RNA (is/isn’t) confined to the nucleus.
Isn’t
Three types of RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), Transfer RNA(tRNA).
_________ ___Takes the instructions from the DNA in the nucleus into the cytoplasm (where proteins are made)
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Ribosomes are composed of rRNA and proteins. Provides the site for protein assembly.
Ribosomal RNA (mRNA)
Delivers amino acids to the ribosome to assemble the protein.
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
____: the process in which mRNA is synthesized from the DNA in the nucleus.
Transcription
Transcription process is similar to DNA replication, except ____ replaces thymine and only one strand is produced.
Uracil
_____carriers the sequence of bases out into the cytoplasm, to a ribosome.
mRNA
Every set of three nitrogenous bases in mRNA is a ____ and ____ for one specific amino acids.
Codon and codes.
____: the process of converting the base sequence info in the mRNA into a sequence of amino acids (into a protein).
Translation
What takes place at the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
Translation
____ bring amino acids to the ribosome.
tRNA
Each tRNA molecule can attach to only ___ type of amino acid.
One
_____ structure: amino acid on one acid. -Anticodon on other end.-Anticodon matches with the codon on the mRNA molecule. - Amino acid is deliver.
tRNA
When the whole process is finished, the ____ chain breaks off , forms it’s final shape, becoming a protein or part of a protein.
Polypeptide
template for RNA transcription
DNA
Carries the genetic code to ribosomes
mRNA
Formed of an mRNA base triplet
codon
specifies a particular amino acid
codon
site of protein synthesis
ribosome
carries amino acids to ribosome
tRNA
