Polypeptide Synthesis - Transcription, Splicing and Translation
Karten in diesem Stapel (19)
- 1Transcription isthe process of making pre-mRNA using part of the DNA as a template
- 2Prokaryotic transcription =mRNA being formed from DNA
- 3Eukaryotic transcription =pre-mRNA being formed from DNA
- 4During translation, Adenine binds withUracil
- 5During translation, Cytosine binds withGuanine
- 6In eukaryotic DNA the enzyme DNA helicase 'unravels' the double DNA strand, exposing the nucleotides. What happens next?The nucleotide bases on the template strand pair with the complementary RNA nucleotides. The enzyme RNA polymerase then moves along the strand and joins the nucleotides together to form a pre-mRNA molecule
- 7Non coding regionsIntrons
Stop-start codes
Multiple Repeats - 8Introns intervene what?Introns intervene the synthesis of a polypeptide
- 9What is the process called where introns are removed and the exons are joined together?Splicing
- 10When splicing happens pre-mRNA becomes...mRNA
- 11After splicing what does the mRNA molecule do?Leaves the nucleus via the nuclear pores where they are attracted to the ribosomes, ready for translation.
- 12What determines the sequence of codons in mRNA?The sequence of DNA triplets
- 13What determines the order in which tRNA molecules line up?The sequence of mRNA codons
- 14What is translation?Translation is the production of polypeptides from the sequence of codons carried by mRNA
- 15Translation - (r + aa)Firstly, a ribosome becomes attached to the starting codon at one end of the mRNA molecule. A tRNA molecule with the complementary anti-codon sequence then moves to the ribosome, and pairs up with the mRNA codon. This tRNA carries a specific amino acid.
- 16Translation - (ac + mr)A tRNA molecule with the complementary anti-codon for the neighbouring mRNA codon pair up. This tRNA can carry the same/different amino acid. The ribosome moves from the first tRNA molecule to the second and joins the two molecules together.
- 17Translation - (aa + tr)The two amino acids (one on each tRNA) join through a peptide bond using an enzyme and ATP. As a third tRNA molecule begins the process of attaching to its correct codon and linking the amino acids, the first tRNA molecule is released from its amino acid and is free to collect another one.
- 18Rate of translation15 Amino acids per second
- 19When does transcription stop?When the ribosome reaches a stop codon
