Transcription synthesis of RNA from DNA
Transcription results in mRNA
RNA polymerase makes mRNA
mRNA makes proteins
RNA polymerase binds to DNA
Transcription factors (TFs) A regulatory protein that binds to DNA and
affects transcription of specific genes. Can wither
activate or repress expression of genes
Termination of transcription RNA polymerase reaches a terminator sequence
(Stop codon) and detaches from the template
Translation Process by which mRNA is decoded and a
protein is produced. Protein assembly
Translation takes place in the cytoplasm
, Codon A specific sequence of three bases on a strand of
DNA or RNA that provides genetic code
information for a amino acid
Amino acids are building blocks of proteins
tRNA An RNA molecule that functions as an interpreter
between nucleic acid and protein language by
picking up specific amino acids and recognizing
the appropriate codons in the mRNA
Codons allow for DNA and RNA to communicate
Gene Regulation the process of turning genes on and off
Gene Regulation occurs during transcription
Transcription factors (TFs) amount of protein product made
determine
Nucleotide DNA subunit; 1 DNA, 1 phosphate, 1 nitrogenous
base
Mutation permanent change in a DNA /RNA sequence that
affects genetic information
germline mutation happens in germ cells, inheritable, in all cells
somatic mutation A mutation that occurs in the body cells from
spontaneous development. Cannot be inherited.
