Unit 3 Ch.14: Translation and Proteins

genetic code is written _____. triplet code is called a ______. start codon does_____, 3 stop codons does _______.

genetic code is non____________, and is universal across _____, _______, and ________

5’ to 3’

codon

initiation

termination

overlapping

bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes

what causes silent mutations

many amino acids have more than 1 codon which translates into a specific amino acid

the third base is the ______ base

wobble

to change languages, _____ and _____ are needed

ribosomes

tRNA

______ is complimentary to the codon on the mRNA

anti-codon

tRNAs can exist for all possible codons except…

the Stop codon

the wobble effect

pairing at third codon position is relaxed, G in the anticodon can pair with C or U

tRNA charging

adding an Amino Acid to a tRNA

catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase on the 3’ CCA of the tRNA

uses ATP

what direction does peptide growth occur

amino (N) to carboxyl (C) direction

dehydration reaction

what are the covalent bonds for proteins

peptide bonds
