Q

DNA Polymerase III

A

Adds nucleotides in 5’–>3’ direction on one strand, on the other starts replication next to RNA primer and adds nucleotides in a 5’–>3’ direction

17
Q

DNA Polymerase I

A

replaces RNA Premiers with DNA

18
Q

RNA Primase

A

acts as a primer by adding short length of RNA to the template strand

19
Q

OKAZAKI Fragements

A

short lengths of DNA formed between RNA primers

20
Q

Nucleosomes

A

globular structure containing eight histone proteins with DNA wrapped around another histone that bonds the structure together

21
Q

Stalite DNA

A

repetitive base sequences which are not translated

22
Q

introns

A

sequence of bases transcribed but not translated

23
Q

DNA Replecation

A

copying DNA to produce new molecules with the same base sequence

24
Q

transcription

A

making mRNA that can leave the nucleus

25
translation
decoding the mRNA to make amino acids
26
SENSE STRAND
strand that has the same base sequence as the mRNA
27
anti-sense strand
strand that forms the template for transcription
28
free ribosomes
ribosomes in the cytoplasm that synthesize proteins for use in the cell
29
Endoplasmic rectuiculum
ribosomes that make protein that leaves the cell or to be used in the lysosome
30
peptide bond
the linkage between amino acids by a condensation reaction
31
polysomes
group of ribosomes moving along the same mRNA as they simultaneously translate it
32
intitation
special steps needed to start translation
33
termination
special steps needed to stop translation
34
four levels of protein structure
Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
35
Primary Structure
linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide
36
secondary strucuture
regular repeating structures, including ß-pleated sheets and α-helices, stabilized by hydrogen bonds
37
two types of protien are
globular and fibrous
38
fibrous protiens
long and narrow protein, insoluble in water
39
globular protiens
rounded protein, soluble in water
40
enzymes
globular proteins that catalyze chemical reactions by lowering activation energy
