Term
|
Definition
| End product of TRANSLATION (small chain of amino acids) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| START codon that begins TRANSLATION; codes for METHIONINE. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Single strand messenger molecule from nucleus -> cytoplasm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Each amino acid must be ENERGIZED before binding to a t-RNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Single-strand of DNA that is copied during TRANSCRIPTION. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs when STOP CODONS are reached; ribosome + polypeptide separate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Precedes translation: (1) Ribosome binds to mRNA; (2) AA-tRNA to ribosome |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Translation shifts down 3 bases (not 1) to new TRIPLET codon on A site. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Organelle translates mRNA -> POLYPEPTIDE |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Name for NUCLEIC acid message on mRNA. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| During translation, CODON of mRNA is read 3 nitrogen bases at a time. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Each CODON codes for more than one AMINO ACID. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Polypeptide chain LENGTHENS during translation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
TRIPLET codon (eg. UUU) in all species codes for same amino acid (phe) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| End product of TRANSCRIPTION; modified & shortened -> mRNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
More codons (64) than there are AMINO ACIDS (20). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Nitrogen base triplet on t-RNA; complements codon of mRNA. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| SHIFTING of AA-tRNA from A to P site of a ribosome. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ENZYME: Activates & transfers AMINO ACIDS to specific t-RNAs. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CYTOPLASMIC process: converts mRNA -> polypeptide chain. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Translation begins BEFORE transcription is finished. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| NUCLEAR process; converts DNA -> mRNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Stop codons; cause TERMINATION of translation. |
