Unit 6- Protien Synthesis and Mutations Flashcards
1
Q
Exon
A
Part of the DNA that is expressed in a strand of RNA when building proteins
2
Q
Intron
A
Unused DNA when building proteins that get removed from the mRNA
3
Q
Genes
A
Unit of hereditary information and achieve their effects by directing the synthesis of proteins
4
Q
Messenger RNA
A
Strand of RNA that contains the information for what protein is going to be built
5
Q
Promoter
A
It is the flag on the strand of DNA that tells where the RNA polymerase to start
6
Q
RNA polymerase
A
Like DNA polymerase, it gets the nucleotides needed for the RNA strand
7
Q
RNA Splicing
A
Splicisomes are the enzyme that put the exons together and gets rid of the introns
8
Q
Terminator
A
the point on the DNA where the RNA polymerase stops building nucleotides on the mRNA
