Where does DNA transcription to RNA take place
Nucleus
-
What is it called for DNA to go to RNA
Transcription
-
What is it called for RNA to go to protein
Translation
-
Where does Translation rom RNA to protein occur
cytoplasm
-
Two DNA strands must separate for _______ to occur.
transcription
-
A _______ is a specific DNA sequence that signals the beginning of a gene/ where to start transcribing a gene.
promoter
-
A binding site for RNA _________ and determines which of the 2 strands of the DNA double helix is used as the template in transcription.
polymerase
-
A _________ is a specific DNA sequence that signals the end of a gene/ where to stop transcribing a gene
terminator
-
The RNA nucleotides are linked by the transcription enzyme _______ ________, which catalyzes the reaction.
RNA polymerase
-
What are the 3 Phases of Transcription
Initiation RNA polymerase binds to a promoter, where the helix unwinds and transcription starts.
Elongation RNA nucleotides are added to the chain
Termination RNA polymerase reaches a terminator sequence and detaches from the templat
-
_______ RNA polymerase binds to a promoter, where the helix unwinds and transcription starts
Initiation
-
______ RNA nucleotides are added to the chai
Elongation
-
_________ RNA polymerase reaches a terminator sequence and detaches from the template
Termination

In most protein-coding genes, the DNA sequences are not continuous. There are non-coding regions called ______ and coding regions called ______, and they are transcribed into mRN
-
Eukaryotic _______ undergoes processing before leaving the nucleus
mRNA
-
______ ______removes introns and joins exons to produce a continuous coding sequence.
RNA splicing
-
_______ ______ is a molecular interpreter to convert a3-nucleotide mRNA codon sequence to 1 amino acid
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
-
______ molecules match an amino acid to its correspondingmRNA codon
tRNA
-
_________ build polypeptides
Ribosomes
-
Ribosomes build _______
polypeptides
-
_________ occurs on the surface of the ribosom
Translation

Ribosomes have two subunits: _____and _____
small and large
-
Ribosomal subunits come together during ______
translation
-
Ribosomes have binding sites for ____ and ______
mRNA and tRNA
-
Translation can be divided into the same 3 phases as transcription: _______ _______ ______
initiation, elongagtion, & termination.
-
_______ _______: the anticodon of an incoming tRNAmolecule, carrying its amino acid, pairs with the mrNA codonin the A site of the ribosome
Codon recognition
-
_____ ______ ______: the growing polypeptide separates from the tRNA in the P site & attaches to the newly added amino acid in the A site
Peptide bond formation
-
_________: The “empty”tRNA in the P site leaves the ribosome & the growing polypeptide attached to the tRNA in the A site moves to the P site.
Translocation
