(11 cards)
Transcription
Is the process of making mRNA using parts of the DNA
Where does transcription occur
In the nucleus of the cell
Complete the statement- the sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the …
Sequence of amino acids in the proteins of any organism
Messenger RNA
It acts as a template for protein synthesis
Introns
Non-coding region of the gene
Exons
Coding or expressed regions of the gene
What enzyme is involved in transcription
RNA polymerase
Translation
Is the process in which the mRNA is read and translated into a protein to be transferred by the tRNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis
Where does translation occur
In the ribosomes
MRNA
It’s structure is suited for its function because it contains information in the form of Codons
TRNA
The loop of hairpin is a triplet of bases called Anticodon
