1
Transcription
The process of synthesizing messenger RNA (mRNA) from a specific segment of DNA, serving as a template.
New cards
2
Translation
The process of interpreting the mRNA sequence into a specific amino acid chain (polypeptide), forming a protein.
New cards
3
Initiation (Transcription)
A region called a promoter triggers the start of transcription.
New cards
4
Elongation (Transcription)
RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA and synthesizes mRNA by aligning complementary nucleotides with the DNA template.
New cards
5
Termination (Transcription)
A terminator sequence signals the end of transcription, causing mRNA to detach from the gene.
New cards
6
Post-Transcriptional Modifications
The pre-mRNA undergoes splicing, removing introns and joining exons before exiting the nucleus.
New cards
7
Initiation (Translation)
The ribosome subunits bind to the mRNA at the start codon, preparing for translation.
New cards
8
Elongation (Translation)
Transfer RNA (tRNA) brings appropriate amino acids based on mRNA codons, with ribosomes catalyzing peptide bonds.
New cards
9
Termination (Translation)
A stop codon signals the end of translation, resulting in the release of the newly synthesized polypeptide chain.
New cards
10
Endocytosis
Process of a cell ingesting material by enveloping it in a portion of its membrane and forming an intracellular vesicle.
New cards
11
Exocytosis
Process of exporting material out of the cell using vesicular transport and fusion of membrane-bound vesicles.
New cards
12
Types of Endocytosis
Includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
New cards
13
Cell Cycle
Sequence of events from cell creation to division, generating two new cells, composed of interphase and mitosis.
New cards
14
Interphase Phases
Includes G1, S, G2 phases and G0 phase which is a resting stage.
New cards
15
Mitosis
The process of dividing genetic material, typically lasting 1-2 hours and consisting of Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
New cards
16
Cell Cycle Control
Regulation mechanisms that ensure proper progression through the cell cycle and prevent uncontrolled cell division.
New cards
17
Cyclins and CDKs
Proteins that determine progression through checkpoints during the cell cycle.
New cards
18
Tumors
Abnormal masses of tissue classified as benign (non-threatening) or malignant (capable of damaging tissues).
