Section 14: Transcription And Translation Of Genes Flashcards
0
Q
Operon
A
Two or more genes in a bacterial chromosome that or transcribed into one mRNA molecule. Eukaryotic cells do not have operons.
1
Q
Transcription
A
The process by which RNA polymerase uses a DNA template to produce mRNA
2
Q
Translation
A
The process of rRNAs translating the mRNA codon into proteins by polymerizing the correct amino acids in the correct order
3
Q
RNA Polymerase
A
Used to produce the RNA copy of each gene. Responsible for transcription
4
Q
mRNA
A
A template for the coated genetic information in DNA to be translated into protein
5
Q
Ribosomes
A
Enzymes that carry out the process of translation
6
Q
Codon
A
A nucleotide triplet the codes for a specific amino acid
