◉ two examples of nonenzyme proteins.
Answer: keratin and insulin
◉ Both nucleic acids and proteins are ____________ with specific
sequences of ____________ that convey information.
Answer: polymers
monomors
◉ transcription.
Answer: the synthesis of RNA using information in the DNA
◉ it carries a genetic message from the DNA to the protein-
synthesizing machinery of the cell.
is a faithful transcript of the gene's protein building instructions.
Answer: mRNA
◉ Translation.
,Answer: is the synthesis of a polypeptide using the information in
the mRNA
◉ site of translation.
Answer: ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm.
◉ transcription occurs where.
Answer: in the nucleus
◉ the transcription of a protein-coding eukaryotic gene results in.
Answer: pre-mRNA
◉ primary trnascript.
Answer: mRNA before processing
◉ Do bacterial cells have pre-mRNA and what is special about their
translation?.
Answer: no
translation can begin while its transcription is still in progress
◉ Triplets of nucleotide bases.
, Answer: are the smallest units of uniform length that can code for all
the amino acids
◉ Triplet code.
Answer: A set of three-nucleotide-long words that specify the amino
acids for polypeptide chains.
◉ The strand of DNA that provides the pattern or template for the
sequence of nucleotides in an RNA transcript.
Answer: template strand
◉ mRNA triplets and the DNA nucleotide triplets along the
nontemplate strand.
Answer: codons
◉ the nontemplate DNA is called _________ because why?.
Answer: the coding strand
the coding strand is complementary (not antiparallel) to the mRNA
except for T and U
◉ It takes _____ nucleotides along an mRNA strand to code for the
amino acids in a polypeptide that is _____ amino acids long.
