The process of making proteins is called
protein synthesis
Which type of RNA carries the DNA message to the ribosome?
mRNA
Which type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome
tRNA
The process of using DNA to make complementary mRNA is called
transcription
The set of 3 bases on mRNA that code for a particular amino acid are called
codon
Why is the genetic code said to be universal?
all living things use the same code
Which enzyme builds mRNA during transcription
RNA polymerase
Where does transcription take place?
in the nucleus
What is the end product of transcription?
mRNA
Where does RNA polymerase bind to start transcription
the promoter
During mRNA processing ______ are spliced together to form the final RNA
exons
The process of using mRNA to make a polypeptide is called
translation
Where does translation take place
at the ribosome
the three bases on tRNA that are complementary to mRNA are called
anticodon
tRNAs bring amino acids to the ribosome and build a new protein according to directions from the mRNA during _______.
translation
