protein synthesis Flashcards
two stages of protein synthesis
transcription happens in the nucleus
translation happens in the ribosmes
what does the enzyme Rna polymerase do in transcription?
connects RNA bases to DNA bases this makes mRNA
what is mRNA?
a message of RNA based of the DNA once the bases are connected together
where does mRNA go next after being coded?
through the nucleus to the ribosomes
what are ribosomes made out of?
rRNA ribosomal RNA where translation happens
purpose of mRNA
the message that directs tRNA on what proteins to transfer to the mRNA bases
mRNA bases contain what?
condon’s these direct the tRNA with the anitcondons to connect bases and transfer there specific amino acid to the mRNA bases
anitcondon for a u g
u a c = the amino acid methinone
after tRNA connects to the complementary bases what happens next?
the tRNA will leave behind there amino acid which will connect to the next amino acid on the next tRNA base with a bond called a peptide bond
def of tRNa
transfer RNA
def of DNA
deoxyribonuceic acid
