In mRNA, each codon is specific for coding one
amino acid
Where in the cell does the process of copying the DNA message into mRNA occur?
the nucleus
Ribosomes need mRNA and tRNA to help build proteins. Which statement correctly describes their roles in the process?
mRNA carries the genetic instructions for building proteins to the ribosome, while tRNA brings the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome based on the instructions in the mRNA
Through meiosis & fertilization, each parent contributes one of two genes for a particular trait. Different forms of a gene are called
alleles
What happens during Step 1 of protein synthesis (aka transcription)?
DNA -> RNA
What happens during Step 2 of protein synthesis (aka translation)?
RNA-> Protein
Transcription
the biological process where a cell creates a single-stranded RNA molecule by copying the genetic information from a DNA sequence
Translation
Takes the information passed from DNA as messenger RNA and turns it into a series of amino acids bound together with peptide bonds
DNA->
RNA
RNA->
Protein
Mutations
a random error in gene replication that leads to a change, A change in the DNA causes a change in the protein.
RNA phosphate backbone is made from
sugar ribose
Ribosome is the
place where proteins are made
Anticondon
Transferring the amino acids
RNA has the nitrogen base
Uracil
What are proteins made up of
amino acids
AUG is the
starting codon
