|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Translation is when proteins are produced. mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to a ribosome with a list of amino acid ingredients it needs. Translated codon by codon, codon codes for amino acid. But mRNA can't actually grab them, so tRNA comes in to play. tRNA carries an amino acid on one end and an anticodon on the other. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The molecule that transfers AA to mRNA is called the transferRNA. Each molecule carries a specific amino acid. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An anticodon hydrogen bonds only with its mRNA complimentary codon. The codon/anticodon match ensures each mRNA only gets the AA it calls for. 3 bases at the end of tRNA is where the anticodon is- sticks to codon and delivers amino acid. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| mRNA winds its way into a ribosome. A ribosome exposes one codon at a time. One by one, tRNA brings the proper AA to each codon of mRNA. The individual AA are connected through dehydration reactions to form a polypeptide. The polypeptide folds into 3D form and becomes a protein (which actually expresses your gene.) |

Definition
| Helicase unzips the section of DNA with the gene, breaking the hydrogen bonds. Though the strand is double, only one side of dna is important. An enzyme called RNA polymerase travels around the strand- taking free nucleoiteds (A to A etc.) and matching them up with complement. It does this until it reaches stop codon and mRNA is released, leaves nucleus and goes into cytosol. |
