What are the subunits of a protein called?
amino acids
4
New cards
A chain of amino acids is called
protein or polypeptide
5

Which enzyme adds RNA nucleotides one at a time when mRNA is copied from DNA?
RNA polymerase
6
New cards
A chain of amino acids folds into
a 3D protein
7
New cards
\___ is a section of DNA that codes for a protein
gene
8
New cards
What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?
carries a copy of a gene (segment of DNA)
9
New cards
What molecule does RNA polymerase produce?
mRNA
10
New cards
If a DNA strand reads TCA, what will its complimentary mRNA strand read?
AGU
11
New cards
Which molecule do you look up on the amino acid chart- tRNA or mRNA?
mRNA
12
New cards
On which molecule is a codon found?
mRNA
13
New cards
Where does transcription occur?
nucleus
14
New cards
Ribosome is the site of \____
translation
15
New cards
If mRNA reads AAU, what would the matching tRNA read?
UUA
16
New cards
What is the product of transcription?
mRNA (messenger RNA)
17
New cards
What ist he function of tRNA in protein synthesis?
carries the amino acids to the ribosome
18
New cards
What is transcription?
making mRNA from a segment (gene) of DNA
19
New cards
On which molecule is an anticodon found?
tRNA
20
New cards
A long strand of amino acids is called
polypeptide or protein
21
New cards
True or False: Thymine(T) is found in RNA
False
22
New cards
The 4 stages of making a protein in order
DNA, mRNA, tRNA, amino acids fold into protein
23
New cards
What is translation?
when mRNA is translated by a ribosome to a sequence of amino acids which we call a polypeptide or protein
24
New cards
What is the result if RNA polymerase is blocked and cannot attach the DNA strand?
mRNA would no form so neither would a protein
