BIOL 11000 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Rna Splicing, Missense Mutation, Nonsense Mutation
Document Summary
Distinguish between transcription and translation transcription: the info in a dna sequence is copied into a complementary rna sequence translation: the rna sequence is used to create the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. Transcription initiation transcription factors bind to regulatory regions of a gene and it recruits the rna polymerase to the promoter. Rna polymerase synthesizes the rna stand by polymerizing nucleotides together; 2 dna strands are separated; uses base- pair rules to determine sequence; builds rna 5" to 3" Transcription termination termination signals include sequence info and structure of the. Features and parts of a eukaryotic gene introns: non-coding regions that interrupt coding regions exons: coding regions, these are expressed after splicing. 20 different amino acids made by 4 bases; bases form codons which have 3 bases; each codon specifies a particular amino acid. Translation initiation small ribosomal sub-unit binds to mrna; initiator trna binds to mrna; large subunit is added, placing initiator trna in p site.
