The process of copying a DNA sequence into a messenger RNA.
transcription
The messenger RNA is decoded into an amino acid sequence.
Translation
The RNA that forms into ribosomes (protein factory).
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
The RNA that carries the genetic instructions (code) from DNA.
messenger RNA (mRNA)
The RNA that delivers the amino acids during protein synthesis.
transfer RNA (tRNA)
It has an anticodon arm.
transfer RNA (tRNA)
triplet(3) nucleotides in mRNA which codes for a specific amino acid
codon
the building blocks of protein
amino acids
the DNA strand that is the same as mRNA but "T" is replaced with "U"
coding strand
the DNA strand that is complementary with mRNA
template strand
this is where translation takes place in the cell
cytoplasm
the nitrogenous base that is ONLY found in RNA
Uracil
What is the complementary DNA strand of 3' AGGT 5' ?
5' TCCA 3'
What is the complementary messenger RNA if DNA template is 3' AGGT 5' ?
5' UCCA 3'
Give one example of a STOP codon
UAG , UGA, UAA
AUG is called a _______ codon because it signals the ribosome to begin translation
START
