Protein synthesis SMH

Question 1

What bases are involved with RNA?

Answer 1

A U C G

Question 2

What is the purpose of mRNA?

Answer 2

-linear strand shape
To take DNA Info from the nucleus to the Ribosomes

Question 3

Explain the process of transcription (making mRNA)
(4)

Answer 3

-RNA polymerase Breaks H Bonds between bases )exposing bases
-RNA polymerase as complimentary RNA bases to ONE strand
-RNA polymerase joins the bases together (reforming h bonds)
-mRNA strand detaches

Question 4

Explain the process of translation

Answer 4

1) Ribosome binds to mRNA
2) Anticodon w amino acids binds to complimentary codon)this repeats
3)The ribosome joins the amino acids together via condensation reaction forming peptide bonds
4)This forms a polypeptide chain and everything breaks off from each other

Question 5

What is tRNA?

Answer 5

-Clover shape
Has amino acid binding site on the top
Has anticodon base pairs at the bottom
Has Hydrogen bonds

Question 6

What tf do rRNA do?

Answer 6

rRNA is responsible for catalysing the peptide bonds that form during translation
