|
What is a promoter?
|
A region of the DNA template where RNA first binds.
|
|
|
What is transcription?
|
When DNA transcribes into RNA on the template strand.
|
|
|
What is the enzyme that functions transcription?
|
RNA Polymerase.
|
|
|
What is translation?
|
When RNA translates into a protein.
|
|
|
What is the organelle which translation functions with?
|
Ribosome.
|
|
|
What is a TATA box?
|
Common Promoter which consists of Thymine and Adenine.
|
|
|
What are transcription factors?
|
Proteins that help RNA polymerase with transcription. Some help binding while others prevent from binding.
|
|
|
RNA grows in what direction?
|
3'-5' - Left to Right
|
|
|
What causes Transcription to stop?
|
Hairpin Loop
|
|
|
Where is Poly-A-Tail added to when converting rna to mRNA?
|
3' end.
|
|
|
What does a splicosome do?
|
It takes out introns. It binds to both sides of introns causing a bend which removes introns.
|
|
|
How is translation initiated?
|
Formation of initiation complex.
|
|
|
What stops translation?
|
Release Factors (Stop Codon)
|
|
|
What is a translocation?
|
When ribosomes shifts down mRNA to next codon
|
|
|
What is rRNA?
|
RNA found in ribosomes.
|
|
|
What is tRNA?
|
A temporary link between amino acids and mRNA that are being translated.
|
|
|
What is mRNA?
|
Messanger RNA - actual template for amino acid assembley in polypeptide synthesis.
