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