Q

recognizes elements in upstream region of DNA -35 and -10 to the start site

A

RNA polymerase “seeing eye dog”

17
Q

the third base is known as the

A

wobble base

18
Q

the usage of particular codons is different between different organisms, this is called

A

CODON BIAS of an organism

19
Q

is 4-8 base pairs before the first AUG. Also called the ribosome binding site

A

Shine-Dalgarno

20
Q

sequence is complementary to one in the 16s rRNA

A

Shine-Dalgarno

21
Q

form peptide bonds along the way while the robosome continues down the strand of mRNA

A

amino acids

22
Q

is terminated when the ribosome’s come to a stop or nonsense codon

A

Translation

23
Q
  • at this point the ribosomes separate

- the new polypeptide chain is released

A

after translaion is terminated

-then the ribosome and the mRNa are free to begin translation again

24
Q

example of induction of gene expression

A

lac operon

25
Near the operon on the DNA is a regulatory gene called the l gene -this codes for the repressor protein
Lac operon
26
when lactose is absent the repressor protein binds to the
operator region
27
the biding of the repressor gene prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the structual genes so
No mRNA is made and no enzymes are synthesized
28
when lactose is present the ___ binds to lactose instead of the operator and is released for DNA
repressor
29
with the repressor bound to the lactose, RNA polymerase is able to bind to te promoter and transcribe the
structural gene
30
acts as the induced by keeping the repressor from binding to the operator
Lactose
31
is allows the transcription of the structural genes
Lactose
