Protein Synthesis
Cards in this deck (13)
- 1Protein Synthesis consists of which two stages?Transcription and Translation
- 2What is Transcription and where does it occur?– occurs in the nucleus; a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced from the coding strand of DNA
- 3What is Translation and where does it occur?this occurs in the ribosomes; the messenger RNA is translated, using transfer RNA (tRNA), into a polypeptide
- 4Diagram:
- 5A molecule of DNA:
- 6A molecule of mRNA:
- 7A molecule of tRNA:
- 8Comparison of DNA, mRNA and tRNA:
- 9Diagram of Transcription:
- 10What happens during Transcription:
- 11Once assembled, the mRNA molecule moves:Out of the nucleus via the pore and into the cytoplasm
- 12What is edited out of pre-mRNA by splicing?Introns (non coding sections~)
- 13What is Translation?
