RNA & Protein Synthesis

the enzyme responsible for transcription

• RNA polymerase

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

single stranded molecule that carries instructions from a gene to make a protein

form of DNA that carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis

• RNA polymerase

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

RNA that is in the ribosome and guides the translation of mRNA into a protein

form of RNA that, along with proteins, makes up ribosomes

• RNA polymerase

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

form of RNA responsible for adding amino acids

transfers amino acids to the ribosome to make protein during protein synthesis

taxi RNA

• RNA polymerase

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

DNA acts as a template (to copy) for the synthesis of RNA

process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complementary strand of mRNA

process where DNA is copied onto a piece of mRNA in the nucleus

• transcription

• translation

• translocation

• inversion

process by which mRNA is decoded and makes polypeptides

• transcription

• translation

• translocation

• inversion

process in which a segment of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome

chromosomal mutation where a gene is moved from one chromosome to another non homologous chromosome

• transcription

• translation

• translocation

• inversion

chromosomal mutation where a gene is removed and put back in backwards

segments of chromosomes break off, flip around, and reattach

• transcription

• translation

• translocation

• inversion
